Deadly Daizen hitting form at exactly the right time
That well known and catchy tune to the sound of tequila, in honour of Daizen Maeda was heard loud and clear once again yesterday afternoon, as it rang around Celtic Park on more than one occasion…

And for good reason, as he was the star of the show, and the major catalyst in Celtic 3-1 win over Falkirk.
The Japanese forward was quite rightly awarded the Player of the Match award due to his major input in the vital win over the Bairns. The stats don’t lie, and they will highlight his value contribution, registering two goals and an assist, but his overall all round game was absolutely fantastic on the night, arguably his best of the campaign.
To be frank Daizen hasn’t been himself this season, although you could say the same about the overwhelming majority of the squad, but Daizen’s mind seemed to have been elsewhere, most likely due to the club going against their word and not letting him move on to Bundesliga side Wolfsburg last summer on transfer deadline day, after he had cleared his locker at Lennoxtown and said his goodbyes to his teammates.
