    He's obviously been pretty good on the ball when running at people etc, but I was quite impressed by how often he was making runs to get on the end of balls into the box. Sometimes with players like him, they're too happy to get the ball to feet and flatter to deceive etc. A couple of times he was ghosting in at the back post, and it finnaly paid off for the goal.

    We have the option to buy and based on what we've so far it'd be criminally negligent not to take the option.

    Absolutely I agree, but something in my mind tells me if he keeps it up he'll have offers in bigger leagues

    If he keeps performing though I imagine the vultures will be circling.

    Any player that gets noticed will attract attention but when the time comes it'll be down to the player to accept the offer or not. The key point may well be us winning the league with guaranteed CL group stage football. Long way yet from achieving that but I'm certain that can be a massive incentive in Jota or any quality players coming to us.

    Postecoglou added Portuguese winger Jota to his squad late in the summer transfer window and he’s looked a shrewd signing.

    The 22-year-old is initially on loan from Benfica but the Hoops have an option to buy him if he continues to do well.

    And his gaffer reckons there’s much more to come from him once he’s up to speed properly.



    He said: “That was the whole idea of bringing him here. “So far he has done well when we have kind of thrown him in.

    “He is playing every game and he probably wasn’t ready.

    "I don’t think he has played many games in his whole career.

    “But he has shown great promise and is getting to understand our game a wee bit better.


    For Jota to get his first one in the league – particularly away from home – will be positive for him


    But, again, he is just starting his Celtic career, so hopefully there is more to come.”

    You can tell he's an intelligent handsome guy. A superb football player and athlete. He's a class act. Family man settled, with his girlfriend he says in that video. Scoring goals for Celtic. He's got the mindset and professionalism we need at this club.

    Compare to Barkas, as a person. Inspector Clouseau. An Imposter. Someone that hasn't settled in Scotland that should move on. Doesn't have the mentality or ability.

    And then compare him to Leigh Griffiths!.. kicking smoke bombs at St Johnstone fans for Dundee, at the expense of £20,000 while chatting up the hearts youth players.

    We've got the good the bad and the ugly at Celtic.

    That's true, but other clubs will have to pay a lot more for him. We have a deal in place already for about £6.5m. Should probably act on that in January.

    There’s a difference with an option and obligation to buy.

    I think he has a great attitude. Bags of potential. I'd buy.

    He’s started very well but I still think he has a way to go to be a definite buy for us never mind anyone else.
