Celtic winger Jota was again impressive as he helped the Hoops progress to the final of the League Cup against St Johnstone on Saturday.
The Portuguese Under 21 international did one thing that particularly impressed supporters on Twitter, as he twisted and turned in the opposition box before delivering a cross with a Rabona:
Canny get enough of him.

We have an agreed fee tbf, we never had that with Roberts. Can see us offering up the cash but the player himself getting a more lucrative offer unless we get it done ASAP.

If only someone got a great connection with that cross, would have been such a goal

To be honest, it wasn’t Jota‘s best game in the green and white hoops, having missed two decent chances to score, but he contributed to James Forrest’s winner and he continues to catch the eye.
There have been reports that Celtic are already preparing to trigger their option to buy the 22-year-old for Β£6.5m but we shall see if that rumour turns out to be true.
Fans are certainly in no doubt about whether Jota should be snapped up on a permanent basis, and his numbers (six goals and six goals in 15 appearances) suggest he would be more than worth the outlay.
