Emilio Izaguirre pays tribute to new Celtic signing Luis Palma

Luis Palma has received further praise from Celtic hero Emilio Izaguirre after posting a picture of his shirt.

The Honduras international previously spoke of his conversations with the defender after making the £3.5million move from Greek side Aris.

Palma told Celtic TV after signing: "Yes, I’ve spoken to Emilio a couple of days ago. We spoke about the club and now that I’m here I’d like to do as much or even more than what Emilio has done at the club.

"We spoke about it (playing at Celtic Park) and had a good laugh about it because that’s what every player wants to do.

"You want to come in and play in front of many fans. It’s something that I’m looking to try and do and I’m excited about it.”

Izaguirre then clarified that he had nothing but good things to say about the forward. "Luis is a player who has talent and it would be very good for him to make the leap from Greece to Scotland," he said.

"The Scottish league is a very important league and it can help you greatly. If the move comes to fruition, Luis has to expect that it will be very close to the English Premier League."

And now the former Hoops left-back has reinforced his support for his fellow countryman after posting a photo of his shirt on his Instagram story.
