Luis Palma, born on 17th January 1980 in Honduras, is currently a forward for Celtic Football Club where he often assumes the role of a left winger. Standing at a height of 5ft 8in (1.75m) and tipping the scales at 11st 2lb (71kg), Luis dons the iconic number 7 jersey for Celtic and has also added international flare, representing his homeland, Honduras, on the national football stage.
Palma began his professional career in his home country with Vida, a team competing in the League Teams in Honduras. In January 2022, he transferred to Aris FC, a Greek Super League side, for a fee that remains undisclosed. Throughout his time there, Palma made considerable strides. During the 2021-2022 season, he scored two goals in 11 first-team appearances. His impressive performance persisted in the following 2022-2023 season where he appeared 29 times and netted 11 goals. The following 2023-2024 season, saw Palma's initial low performance, only making a single first-team appearance.
Subsequently, in August 2023, Luis made his move to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership for an estimated fee of about Β£3.4m. His stint at Celtic has already demonstrated promising signs with 7 goals in 28 first-team appearances in the 2023-2024 season. In the ongoing 2024-2025 season, Palma has made five first-team appearances so far.
In addition to his impressive league form for Celtic, Palma has also made his mark in continental and domestic cup competitions. In the Champions League 2023-2024 campaign, he netted twice in four starting appearances while coming in as a substitute once. In the League Cup 2024-2025, he had a starting role once and was substituted in once. Furthermore, in the ongoing Champions League 2024-2025 campaign, he has made one appearance as a substitute. This evolving player, undoubtedly, has a future of good promise.
