Daizen Maeda to thank supporters | OneFootball

Former Celtic star Daizen Maeda will be back at Celtic Park on Sunday to say a fond farewell to supporters prior to kick-off.

As he was not able to do so prior to completing his move to EPL side Ipswich Town, Daizen has asked Celtic for the opportunity to thank the fans personally for all the support he and his family received during his four and a half years in Scotland.

He will do so on the pitch ten minutes prior to kick-off at the Glasgow Derby this Sunday.

Daizen was instrumental in delivering Celtic’s League and Cup double last year, particularly through his efforts in the final weeks of the season, making a phenomenal and unique contribution in that time which has been recognised by our fans.

In a trophy laden Celtic career, Daizen won 10 trophies in total including 5 Premiership titles, three Scottish Cups and 2 Scottish League Cups with the club, making 212 appearances and scoring 79 goals in all competitions for the Champions.

Daizen swept the boards in season 2024/25 as Club, SPFL and PFA Scotland Player of the year. The iconic Japanese forward has secured his place in Celtic's history with his achievements in the famous green & white hoops.

We are sure fans will be delighted to show their appreciation to someone who gave so much to the club and wish him well for the future.
