Jota, the fun-loving winger, humorously remarked that his elaborate plan for an emotional return to Celtic is now in jeopardy after scoring a goal for Rennes. Despite his disappointing £25m transfer to Al-Ittihad, he is quickly becoming a fan favorite at the Ligue 1 club, winning hearts with his performances on the field.
Even though Jota suffered a painful knock while netting a goal against Brest, he remains upbeat about his overall performance. Taking to social media, he shared his excitement about a successful week and hinted at future plans for the next generation of “Jotinhas”, a term of endearment used by fans.
The reference to his unique goal celebration comes after Jota made a heartfelt promise to Celtic supporters that he would bring his children to experience the incredible atmosphere at Celtic Park. Fondly reminiscing about his time at the club, Jota expressed his deep gratitude for the unwavering love and support he received from the fans. He also expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to play under the guidance of the talented coach, Ange Postecoglou, in an environment where everything fell into place perfectly.
Reflecting on his time in Glasgow, Jota hopes to create lasting memories for his children by showing them the immense love he received from the Celtic faithful. The moment of hearing their chants was particularly special and unexpected for him, leaving a lasting impact on his heart. As he continues his journey with Rennes, Jota will always hold dear the memories of Celtic Park and the special bond he formed with the fans during his time at the club.
