Daizen Maeda makes a bold claim about Rangers amid future speculation following Celtic’s title triumph.
Celtic forward Daizen Maeda has issued a bold statement regarding Rangers and his personal future with the club following another Scottish Premiership victory. The Japanese international was instrumental in Celtic’s great season and continues determined to achieve even more success in Glasgow, particularly in dominating their primary opponents.
Speaking to the media after Celtic won the league title, Maeda addressed rising speculation regarding his future and used the chance to reiterate his loyalty to the Parkhead club. While reports have emerged about potential interest from teams abroad, Maeda has made it clear that his priorities are firmly in Scotland, particularly continuing to defeat Rangers.
“Playing for Celtic is a huge honour,” Maeda said. “We work hard to win every game, but winning against Rangers always feels special. My focus is on this club, and I want to keep winning more titles here — especially when it comes to beating them.”
His statements indicate a strong sense of devotion and dedication, which is sure to endear him even more to Celtic fans. Since joining Celtic from Yokohama F. Marinos in 2022, Maeda has played an important role in the club’s high-intensity attack. His work rate, pace, and dedication have not gone unnoticed, especially in heated Old Firm rivalries where he frequently plays a key role.
When asked about his objectives for next season, Maeda remained tight-lipped about particular goals but left no doubt about his commitment to the green and white shirt.
“As long as I am here, I will give everything for this club,” he said. “We have big goals, and I want to be part of the team that keeps Celtic at the top.”
With Brendan Rodgers back in charge and another league title in the bag, the team appears poised to expand their domestic domination. Maeda’s promise to keep focused and continue challenging Rangers demonstrates the passion of the rivalry and the high expectations at Celtic Park.
As the Hoops prepare for the new season, Maeda’s obvious sense of purpose — and determination to keep Celtic firmly in control — will reassure fans.
