The Portuguese winger made his return from injury on Monday evening during Celtic’s 2-0 win over Hibernian and was met with rapturous applause as well as a new chant.
🗣️ "When I was younger I remember I listened to that song a lot of times. Nowadays, the Celtic fans are singing that song for me. It was really good. It reminded me of my childhood."

The song goes:
“When you score you make the Celtic sing, Jota on the wing, Jota, Jota on the wing!
“Every time you’re on the ball we know there’s gonna be a goal, our superstar from Portugal.

Celtic fans have been desperate to see the club sign Jota up on a permanent basis but there’s been no indication that will come this month.
There’s been a lot of reports of talks between the two clubs but at the moment it’s all a bit up in the air.
Celtic have an option to buy the winger, but they must match the clause in full and then Jota must agree to sign for the Hoops.
There’s a lot of time between now and the end of the season. Hopefully, the player will feel the love from the Celtic fans and want to stay.
