Luis Palma isn't fazed by criticism that he doesn't score as often at national team level as he does for his club.
The Celtic star played 68 minutes of Honduras' CONCACAF Nations League Group A2 clash against Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday, helping his country secure a 4-0 victory.
Palma provided an assist during his 15th senior cap, yet that wasn't enough for some natives, who asked him after the match about his goal return, which reads just one since making his debut versus Costa Rica back in August 2021.
At Celtic, the player has contributed with 10 goals from 38 appearances.

“As a group I am happy with the team and with the performance," the Celtic winger told Diario Diez.
"It was difficult for me to find our game, but we knew how to assimilate the moment, that was important to look for our game, our style of work.
“Personally, it doesn’t bother me at all, as long as the National Team wins and I can do a good job, that’s enough, that I can support them with the situation of the match, that’s an issue that goes into the background.”
Asked if there’s any other aspects of his game that he strives to improve at international level, the 24-year-old said: “Everything, I would like to improve everything.
“The journalists ask for goals, they will arrive in their time, but the main thing is what I can give to my teammates, I want to improve in all aspects.”
