Stade Rennais winger Jota recently expressed his happiness about his time at Celtic in an interview with *Ouest-France*. Jota, who initially joined Celtic on loan from Benfica in 2021 when Ange Postecoglou was manager, later made the move permanent. During his time at the club, he made 83 appearances, scoring 28 goals and providing 26 assists, helping Celtic win multiple titles, including two Scottish Premierships, two Scottish League Cups, and a Scottish Cup in 2023.
In July 2023, Jota transferred to Al-Ittihad for €30m, but he returned to Europe in 2024 when he signed with Stade Rennais on deadline day. Reflecting on his time at Celtic, Jota shared how special his experience in Glasgow was, especially under Postecoglou’s guidance, emphasizing the strong connection he felt with the fans and the unforgettable memories.
Jota fondly recalled the atmosphere at Celtic Park and the fans’ chant, “Jota on the wing,” which left a lasting impression. He noted, “It touched me because I didn’t expect it. When they started singing it, it was a very special moment.” He added that he hopes to one day share the experience with his children, cherishing it for the rest of his life.
