'I can never say no': Daizen Maeda reveals reason behind ever-changing hairstyle

Celtic winger Daizen Maeda has revealed that his daughter is behind his ever-changing hairstyle.

When the Japanese attacker initially moved to Scotland, he was notably bald, but in the past year, he has grown his hair out.

It is naturally dark, although Maeda hasn't been afraid to dye his locks white, grey, blonde, or a mixture of all three.

Recently asked about his hair, the 27-year-old revealed that his daughter is behind his decision to grow it out: "My daughter said she didn’t like me with a shaved head and told me to change to this hairstyle," said Maeda (Celtic TV).

"Honestly, I can never say no to her."

Maeda has bagged three hat-tricks ever since he started growing his hair out.

He has been a big-part player for Celtic this season, regularly scoring both domestically and in Europe.

Maeda has racked up 22 goals in all competitions so far this campaign, assisting eight along the way, too.

His header against Bayern Munich midweek kept Brendan Rodgers' men alive in the mammoth Champions League tie.

He wasn't even due to be playing against the Bundesliga giants until his two-game UEFA ban was reduced to just one.

Maeda could be pivotal on Tuesday if the Scottish Premiership champions are to pull off an almighty shock in Bavaria.
