Celtic outcast Luis Palma has returned to his first club in Honduras to do his own pre-season training in a bid to kickstart his Hoops career.

The 25-year-old will be back at Parkhead for the new season after an unsuccessful loan spell in Greece with Olympiacos, where he made just three league starts.

But he's taken matters into his own hands to get himself prepared for his return to Glasgow after training with his first club in Honduras, Vida.

And Vida boss Raul Musuruana was impressed at Palma's efforts during his training sessions.

He said: "Luis Palma was welcomed warmly by the rest of the squad and it was great to see him at our training session.

"He is of course a top player and a hero to many in Honduras."

Palma made just one league start for Celtic last season before he was shipped off on loan to Greece in January.
