Daizen Maeda is recapturing his best form for Celtic during the final stages of the league season. The Japan international has provided a significant contribution to the Glasgow club as they attempt to secure the Scottish Premiership title. Celtic currently sit at the top of the table, though they face close competition from both Hearts and Rangers, according to Sky Sports.
Maeda missed several matches recently due to a hamstring injury but returned to the starting line-up earlier this month. Manager Brendan Rodgers described the forward as an 'outstanding' player for the squad, per STV News. The 26-year-old attacker has scored nine goals across all competitions during the 2025-26 campaign.
Celtic travel to face Dundee in their next fixture on Sunday. The club holds a three-point lead over Rangers, who have one game in hand. Hearts remain in third position, trailing the leaders by 11 points with five matches remaining in the post-split schedule, per the Scottish Professional Football League.
