Emotional Luis Palma Celtic celebration message translated as Honduran shows support for pal in a coma
dailyrecord.co.ukThe game was already won, but Luis Palma's third goal for Celtic made extra sure and was a chance for the Honduran to show support for one of his fellow countrymen.The winger was introduced as a sub as the champions staged a second half salvo to beat Motherwell 3-1 after trailing at the break.
Adam Idah's double spared Brendan Rodgers' blushes before Palma added some gloss even later. And he happily took a yellow card for his celebration as he whipped off his shirt to reveal a message in Spanish.It read "Fuerzas Elis" (strong Elis) in tribute to Alberth Ellis, who suffered a sickening head clash during Bordeaux's Ligue 2 against Guingamp.
The forward was knocked unconscious and it was immediately clear that he was in a serious condition. Elis was rushed to a local hospital, where he has been placed in an induced coma, although as yet, Bordeaux have provided no further update.
