Simon Donnelly, a former Celtic forward, believes that Daizen Maeda has now eclipsed Kyogo Furuhashi's legacy at the club as he prepares for what may be his final match in the Scottish Cup final against Dunfermline. Since joining Celtic in 2022, Maeda has scored 78 goals in 211 matches and has secured nine major honors, including being named the PFA Scotland Player of the Year last season. In contrast, Furuhashi netted 85 goals in 165 games before leaving the club 18 months ago. Donnelly highlighted Maeda's significant contributions, stating that his relentless work ethic and emotional investment in the game have made him a pivotal player for Celtic. Despite a tumultuous season, Celtic still has the chance to clinch a double victory. Donnelly expressed confidence that Celtic will not underestimate Dunfermline, who have had a strong season under manager Neil Lennon. He emphasized the importance of the league title win as a boost heading into the cup final, reflecting on the unpredictable nature of the current season.
