    I don't like him. However, he has real attributes and all his flaws are coachable flaws. He has the toolkit to be a great player. Hoping next season he can realise his potential and make me feel daft for ever doubting him.

    I can’t believe he got man of the match today.

    Looked alot better today, his deliveries from set pieces were first class, a Sutton or Larsson up front and he prob has 3 assists today. Took his man on and worked his * off. Definitely a player there. U can also see the MJ haters have their new victim.

    If he had pace he'd have a chance here.

    As it is, I don't see a future for him.

    Played well today, but not a starter if all are fit.

    Thought he was decent today. Mostly because of his corners which we failed to make count.

    No idea how he missed that header…

    Can debate whether he should have a future at Celtic or not but one thing that is not up for question is his deliveries from corners. Absolutely fantastic, whipped in with speed and accuracy right where the keeper doesn’t want it. It’s not Palma’s fault we didn’t have anyone who could capitalise on his excellent corners. Chris Sutton who was commentating on the game would have had an absolute field day with those kind of deliveries.

    Done well today. Can only see him improving next season as well.

    Some decent corners too.

    Think he’s quality but just lacking a bit of match sharpness. The wee reverse crosses are pin point. Comers are class too. Had him 2 or more, Kyogo and O’Riley anytime at 66/1 today, * sitter of a header!

    Not convinced he's a winger. Think we'd get more out of him as a 10 but we don't play that anymore.

    Think we need to get a couple other wingers in.

    Just not convinced by him, to be honest. Especially for the outlay we spent on him. That being said, I’m still not convinced by Kuhn either.

    Was surprised he got motm today but some of his deliveries were excellent and took his goal well but should have buried that header. Never really noticed today but noticed it vs Killie midweek how much of a shift he was putting in.

    Kuhn needs to offer a lot more. Palma looks the more confident player.

    Not seeing enough from either to convince me they're first choice. Good squad players maybe aye.

    I think the jury is still oot on him and Kuhn but think they will be much better next season, at least there's something there to work on.

    See when we did well in CL games he typically put a good shift in, also did at new year vs Rangers too, obviously not Maeda level but he is a decent presser.

    He lacks a bit of pace but has a lot to his game. He has quality delivery or vision with his passing ability. The last two appearances have been far better than some of the cameos against Aberdeen in the cup and a couple of short league appearances.

    I think there is something to work with but if Brendan doesn’t fancy him, I think his numbers means you get your money back on him at least. Especially given how teams scout based on numbers. He creates a lot of chances, scores goals and assists regularly.

    To be fair, there were a couple where Kyogo would've had a tap-in had there not been a big lump of a defender in front of him...
