A Celtic player was spotted dining at a popular city restaurant.

Hoops winger Daizen Maeda popped into La Lanterna on Great Western Road on Tuesday and the staff managed to take a quick snap with him.

Sharing the encounter on Facebook, the team wrote: "Claudia got a quick snap with Daizen Maeda when he visited us for lunch today!"

The Italian restaurant has proved to be a popular choice with the city's footballers.

Maeda previously paid a visit to La Lanterna's Hope Street venue with teammate Reo Hatate last year just weeks after they both signed for the club.

Meanwhile, Rangers stars Alfredo Morelos, Juan Alegría, Ianis Hagi and his dad Gheorghe have also dined there multiple times.
