Image for Celtic: Daizen Maeda shocks journalist with his exploits

Celtic had a great day on Saturday, breezing past Ross County at a canter, putting the 10 men to the sword in a 4-0 drubbing.

The headlines were stolen by Giorgos Giakoumakis and rightly so. The forward bagged a hattrick and set up the other goal, and was well and truly the main man. The other goalscorer was Daizen Maeda.

Do you expect Celtic to sign Jota permanently?

Yes

Yes

No

No

The Japanese star has received plaudits for his work-rate as well as his effectiveness in the opposition box. With the game 4-0 to Celtic in the closing moments, he was still pressing and terrorising the backline, something picked up by journalists.

Sacha Pisani referred to the forward as a ‘mad man’ and said ‘this is different level’ when sharing the footage to his Twitter followers.

It’s certainly some effort from Maeda to still have the energy and desire to do that when the game is settled late on, something that will only help his cause in becoming a fan favourite at Celtic Park.

He played his part in another big win for the Hoops who are moving closer to taking the league title back from rivals, Rangers. The result puts them six points clear before the Gers take to the field this weekend.
