His assist was enough to finally kickstart Celtic’s Europa League campaign on Thursday evening, and it has gotten Hoops fans waxing lyrical about him. Jota is truly on the lips on everybody’s lips in the East End of Glasgow.
The Portuguese winger threatened multiple times in the first half – albeit to no avail – as Celtic huffed and puffed at the Ferencvaros defence in search of the opener. And it was Jota who had the say in getting them underway in arguably the best pass seen at Celtic Park for years.

What makes Jota a wee bit special is that ability to play inside. Physical attributes of a winger, IQ of a ten. Just a lovely footballer.

As the smug Celtic board sit back after yesterday’s performance they should be asked why Hart, Jota and Kyogo weren’t in place to face mighty Midtjylland. Why was the manager sold short, why don’t they bother with UCL qualification #celticfamily
