‘Awful’… Mark Wilson claims 23-year-old Celtic player’s crossing is so inconsistent it’s ridiculous

With poor performances, come poor results and with poor results come hefty criticism and that is exactly what this current crop of Celtic players are coming under right now.

Players like Alexandro Bernabei have been bearing the brunt of the majo꧂rity of the criticism since the 1-1 draw with Aberdeen.

However, it seems that he is not the 🏅only one who needs to pull up his socks and do better in the green and white hoops.

Luis Palma is a player who, at the start of the season, really impressed wit꧒h his passing ability, creativity and his goals and assist💛s.

However, lately, the Honduran has gone off the boil. Normally reliable with his delivery of free kicks, crosses and corners, the £3.5m summer signing has started to leave Mark Wilson extremely frustrated.

Watching Palma in the Pittodrie draw, the former Celtic defender couldn’t help but criticise Palma for his delivery of crosses as the ♛Honduran spurned chance after chance.

Wilso🐻n said [], “He’s so hit and miss because you’re right, sometimes he’s got wicked delivery that’s right on th༒e money.

“Others will go over everyone and꧋ then that one’s the opposite. Tܫhat one doesn’t even go over the first man.

“Pretty inconsistent with his deliv🐠ꩲery but when he gets it right it’s pretty spectacular but he just doesn’t get it right an awful lot.”

And it is a trait that has annoyed his teammates with Peter Grant telling how Kyo❀go Furuahshi has looked increasingly frustrated with the winger recently.

However, Palma has shown this season that he has what it takes to perform at the highest level. Domestically he has been untouchable at times and his performances in the Champions League earlier in the season have had Palma being touted for a big move abroad.

But for now, the 23-year-old needs to find more consistency because the𒀰 title race is getting tighter and Celtic need him back to his brilliant best if they have designs on the Scottish Premiership title.
