Maeda's goal marked his debut strike for Ipswich following a successful stint at Celtic.

He joined the Glasgow club initially on loan, making his move permanent in 2022.

In his last season with Celtic, Maeda scored 14 goals in 36 league appearances, playing a key role in Martin O'Neill's side's league victory.
