Mark Hendry: Celtic's Longterm Loan Ploy and the Luis Palma Deal

Mark Hendry digs into Luis Palma's loan deal, Celtic's thinking and why he thinks there's a player ready to blossom

Luis Palma was always set to leave Celtic this summer, and it looks like the deal has been done with Lech Poznan.

We exclusively told you how clubs in the MLS and in Mexico were keen on the Honduran international but wouldn't get near the £3million asking price.

And it has to be said, it's not much of a surprise to see other clubs digging their own heels in against spending that amount on a winger, 25, who hasn't played much for the Hoops.

His loan stint at Olympiacos didn't exactly go as he'd have liked either with only 12 appearances to his name and one goal as the Greek giants opted against a permanent deal.
