Celtic left-back Greg Taylor is happy for Daizen Maeda to keep his hair if he can continue scoring in the manner he did yesterday.
The electric Japanese winger bagged a hat-trick in the Hoops’ 4-2 Scottish Cup win over Livingston on Sunday.
His back-post threat was coherent as Maeda marked his hundredth appearance in green and white in style.
Few fans expected him to net three in a row and similarly, next to no one anticipated the 26-year-old to grow out his hair like he currently is.
Indeed in Sunday’s match, it was clear that the Japan internationalist wasn’t fully bald as he usually appears.
Greg Taylor made a humorous quip about this after the game, admitting that Maeda can keep his hair if he continues scoring hat tricks: “I want his hair whipped off”, he said (Viaplay).
“But if he keeps scoring goals like that, then he can do what he wants.
“He’s such a threat at the back stick and he showed that again today.”
Before Sunday’s match, Maeda had scored just five goals this season. He will have been delighted to have almost doubled his tally, but there is no denying the winger could have had more.
He hit the bar from a few yards out moments after netting his third, but one can’t get away from what was a standout display from the treble-winner.
