Video: “There Are No Champions In September,” Jota’s Early Season Riposte To Media Madness

Yesterday’s victory at Ibrox gives Celtic the impetus in the title race, with their lead at the top now stretched to six points with as many games remaining. Kris Boyd conceded the title during his punditry on Sky Sports, and while I won’t count my chickens things look good for the Hoops.

It’s bizarre though, for Celtic reportedly lost the title in September after a 1-1 draw against Dundee United at home. A victory at Fir Park when theRangers drew against Hearts cut the gap slightly, but Ange sarcastically told the media he doesn’t bother with league tables as he thought the title race was over.

Here’s what Jota had to say when interviewed at the time…

A simple riposte was followed by a wealth of victories and two triumphs in the Glasgow Derby.

Splendid viewing.
