Celtic Tops Sligo Rovers 3-2 in Friendly

Celtic secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over Sligo Rovers in a friendly match thanks to a late hat-trick from Luis Palma. Palma opened the scoring early but Sligo quickly turned the tables with two goals from Kailin Barlow and Simon Power, taking advantage of blunders by Celtic's goalkeeper Scott Bain. Despite appearing to head for defeat, Palma equalized in the 89th minute and clinched the win with another goal in injury time. The match allowed fringe players to gain valuable experience, although Bain's performance raised concerns. Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers expressed frustration over his team's struggles, but Palma’s standout performance provided a silver lining. This match serves as a reminder of Palma's potential amidst ongoing questions about the team's depth.
