Luis Palma may have become a forgotten man at Celtic Park, but he’s never voiced frustration with the club or his manager. Despite playing less than three hours of football this season, the 24-year-old winger remains determined to prove himself. Recently, he delivered a superb performance for Honduras, scoring twice in a 2-0 win over Mexico, dedicating his goals to his late grandmother. It’s clear Palma has faced personal challenges, yet he continues to show resilience, stating, “The storm will pass, and calm always comes.”

While his technical style of play doesn’t align perfectly with Brendan Rodgers’ demands for relentless pressing, Palma’s ability to create chances when given the ball is undeniable. The hectic weeks ahead could provide him with the opportunity to either reignite his Celtic career or move closer to a new challenge. What’s certain is that, unlike some, Palma won’t be throwing in the towel—he’s focused on working hard, whatever the outcome.

Emma Raducanu opens up on boyfriend ban and why she was ‘resentful’ of parents

Emma Raducanu has revealed that she was prohibited from having boyfriends and felt “forced” into tennis during her childhood. The former US Open champion shared insights into her challenging path to professional tennis, which occasionally caused friction with her “pushy” parents. In an interview with The Times, Raducanu explained, “At the start, my dad forced me into tennis. I didn’t like it, but as I got older and tennis became more of a priority, I started pushing myself.” She described her parents as “pushy,” especially when she was younger, noting that now they advise her on what they think is best but recognize that excessive pressure leads to resistance.

Raducanu also mentioned that her rigorous training schedule left no time for boyfriends and limited her social interactions. “My parents were very much against boyfriends as it interfered with training. When I was younger, I wasn’t even allowed to hang out with my girlfriends,” she said. This led to feelings of resentment, but she believes it also made her confident and comfortable in her own company. Following her breakthrough, Raducanu experienced a series of disappointing results and endured an eight-month injury hiatus due to wrist and ankle surgeries.
