The Irishman says the Honduran has an 'energy' that can help the champions’ fight on all fronts
The wide man notched a hat trick for Celtic in their friendly win against Sligo Rovers on Wednesday to serve a reminder to his manager after struggling for game time in recent weeks. Palma has only made one start this season in the League Cup against Falkirk and been restricted to a handful of sub experiences.
“We've just come off a game of a run there of seven games in 23 days and there's going to be times where we're playing every two or three days and we need that energy. Sometimes that won't be there like we had against Ross County in the first half but that will be the case in some other games. We need players to come off the bench, bring that energy and Luis is definitely one of those players that can do that for us.
“It's just about not forcing it. I think sometimes the thing with wingers is, when other players are in the team and scoring and creating goals, you feel you really want to come in and force it a little bit. I think sometimes that's what's happened with Louis.
