    See the thing is, you can bemoan how quiet he is against the likes of Dundee and Ross County, and his technical ability can leave a lot to be desired at times.

    See against them? There's no other player I'd rather have starting, he is ridiculously good against them every time he plays, they absolutely despise playing against him, and they haven't figured out how to yet.

    Van Brockhorst, Beale and now Clement have struggled to contain Daizen Maeda.

    * love him.

    The camera panned to his mrs and his wee daughter before and after his winning penalty.

    What a moment for that wee girl, seeing her daddy creating a moment of magic for her and the worldwide Celtic family.

    Unbelievable.

    Even if his technical ability is still a bit erratic, he's twice the player he was under Ange.

    Rodgers has refined his game.. paying massive dividends this season.

    Have to agree..Don't think I've ever seen a player improve so much..and I'm serious about this.

    It's the hair, there's no other explanation :fear:

    but aye, 100% agree, whilst his technical ability can still leave a lot to be desired, he's 100 times better than he was under Ange, where he had 0 ability what so ever.

    He's probably around the same level as Abada was in that regard, he'll never be the same level as Jota or Kuhn, but maybe we don't need him to be.

    It was the most Maeda thing I’ve ever seen :56:the most unnatural looking penalty that ripples into the side netting. * hero. Made captain loser his plaything again.

    I love the guy.

    Even when he doesn't touch the ball, he commands so much attention from rangers. They were triple pressing him at one point.

    I actually thought Tavanier did well against Maeda today but I wonder if that was because they hunted in packs against him. Creates a ton of room for others and he still chipped in with a great goal.
