    CELTIC have added former Benfica analyst Antoine Ortega to their sports science department, according to reports.

    Frenchman Ortega, who worked as a consultant for the Portuguese giants, has been brought in to assist with player recruitment and opposition analysis.





    The Daily Mail say he has been granted the work permit he needs to will allow him to start work in Scotland.

    Educated with a Masters in data science the University of Paris-Saclay, Ortega works as a football data scientist with a firm called Smartcoach.

    He also founded a company called Dunk the Data where he published statistical studies football and the NBA.

    And now - after a stint consulting with Benfica - Celtic will ask him to delve into the data and numbers to assist Ange Postecoglou's bid to deliver the Scottish Premiership title.

    Benfica have done us well recently. Have no problems with this.

    Feels good now we're starting to act professionally in the modern game.

    Hopefully he knows of a few more Jota’s floating around in Portugal looking for a chance.

    Ortega when analysing Livi: "We need to go 3-5-2, and make sure there's plenty of height in the team as set pieces will be very important in this game. And we should probably kick lumps out of the * as well".
