Celtic let me leave mid-season - I've just won the league title at my new club

On-loan Celtic winger Luis Palma has won the Greek top flight with Olympiacos. 

The Honduran was deemed surplus to requirements at Parkhead in January following the return of flamboyant wide-man Jota

Palma departed for Greece, and with Olympiacos, he has since made 10 appearances, scoring just once.

His team took on AEK Athens yesterday evening and secured a 1-0 win thanks to Ayoub El Kaabi's goal on 55 minutes. 

The victory sent them 10 points clear at the top of the Super League with three matches to go, meaning they are mathematically impossible to catch for second-place Panathinaikos and, thus, champions. 

For Palma, the league title win is the second of his career. He secured a Scottish Premiership medal with Celtic in his first season at the club, but after falling out of favour during the first half of the current campaign, he was shipped out on loan. 

"I’m still with them [Celtic]," the winger told Diario La Prensa (via Sport Witness) last month. 

"As long as there’s no transfer, I’ll continue to be grateful to Celtic, but it’s time to defend Olympiacos."

The Greek side still has three league games left to go and a cup final against OFI Crete in mid-May.

They possess an option to buy Palma upon the expiry of his loan.
