If one incident could summarise Daizen Maeda’s career it was at Hampden today, three minutes before half-time.
While three opponents paused expecting Don Robertson to award a free kick the Celtic winger followed one of the first rules you learn as a kid- play the whistle.
Instantly Maeda was onto the loose ball, took one touch before slinging the ball across goal without even looking up. Jota has been paying attention, timed his run and netted in his third Derby match of the season.

It was a fantastic goal from Celtic and another brutal message to the fragile Ibrox mentality. If they hesitate for a moment they will be punished badly.
Nico Raskin, Ben Davies and Borna Barisic were all caught waiting for a whistle, James Tavernier was snoozing again with Celtic fans knowing the one pundit that would be feeling the pain more than any other.
At the start of the season Boydy felt that Alfredo Morelos was the best player in Scottish football, a u-turn is highly unlikely from the face of Sky Sports.
Maeda’s reaction ??

Saddest most pathetic moment today which sums up their klub n the players n management to a tee, Canwell denying a Celtic player a drink of water ????? imagine the thought process… Hatate asks fellow pros for a water during a break in play… Canwell throws the available water away ? sportsmanship n class lacking… Ever the rangers way
Just a jealous Paris bun playing up to the knuckle draggers
Well done to the scumhun D.Robertson for not giving the freekick because he just caused his team a place in the cup final buy not giving celtic freekicks he thought he done the ranjurs a big turn but it back fired on mason d.robertson when jota put the ball into the net and send the moals team home once again but just maybe celtic will meet the real ranjurs at liebrox because thats all you hear from Tavawanker the real ranjurs are coming yet again…that newco club are sad losers honest its always them making mistakes its never the team thats playing them thats beat them sad sad sad losers at cheating liebrox..
