Celtic fighting until the end says O’Neill as Maeda leads charge
After an outstanding match, Daizen Maeda cemented his status as Celtic’s star player in this final stretch of the season. His performance against Falkirk, where he scored twice and provided an assist, confirmed that he is currently enjoying one of the best periods of his career.
The Japanese striker’s performance did not go unnoticed by Martin O’Neill, who didn’t hesitate to praise him publicly. The manager highlighted his impact on the game, his ability to make a difference in attack, and his commitment at a time when the team needs its best players at their peak.
O’Neill’s confident praise for his star striker
Performances like Maeda’s keep Celtic’s hopes of challenging for the Scottish Premiership title alive. The team continues to put pressure on the league leaders, Heart of Midlothian, who have been one of the most consistent sides this season.
“The goal he scored to make it 3-1 was brilliantly-taken, but his whole performance – he was given Man of the Match but it was like the Man of three matches!”
Martin O’Neill.
Even so, the message within the dressing room is clear: as long as there is a mathematical chance, Celtic will fight until the very end. With top-level players and the support of their coach, the team firmly believes in the possibility of seizing the lead and becoming champion.
