Luis Palma was battling to save Celtic career BEFORE social media outburst as Brendan Rodgers next move predicted

The Honduran has faced a backlash from his own fans following posts online

Celtic fringe man Luis Palma has been warned he WON'T be able to make his way back into Brendan Rodgers' first-team plans.

Michael Stewart reckons his display against Falkirk in the Premier Sports Cup has only served to push the Honduran further down the pecking order at Celtic Park - and that was before his latest cryptic post to social media. Palma has struggled to make his mark so far this term making just three appearances off the the bench - but was handed his first start of the campaign against the Bairns.

However, he was hooked after 60 minutes - and since has incurred the wrath of the Hoops' diehards. Following the game, the 24-year-old shared a quote in Spanish to his Instagram story discussing his resilience and adversity - earning brutal comparisons from Celtic fans to former Rangers' man Todd Cantwell, who was heavily criticised for his social media antics before joining Blackburn Rovers last summer.

The Scottish Premiership champions turned down interest in the winger towards the end of the summer window just 12 months on from his £4.1m move to Glasgow's east end. But former Hearts and Hibs midfielder Stewart reckons that Rodgers could now be pushing for a January sale.

The pundit told the Scottish Football Social Club: "For Luis Palma, I'm struggling to see how he is going to make his way back because the competition is tough. I don't see how he how he is going to be able to make his way back at Celtic.

"I would not be surprised if come January he was being moved on elsewhere, because I don't see him having the impact you would have hoped for and expected. He was a big summer transfer last year, so, no I wouldn't be surprised if Palma is moved on."
