In midweek Lubo Moravcik dropped in on his old club as Celtic celebrated the centenary of Banik Ostrava, winning the match 4-2. 

Against Blackburn Rovers today Jota showed that he has picked up on some of the magic that Lubo shared with Celtic fans at the turn of the century. 

Back in August 1999, during a 4-0 win over Hearts the former St Etienne midfielder trapped a high ball with his backside, an incident that was more memorable than any of the goals that day. 

From a similar position in today’s friendly with Blackburn, Jota showed similar imagination and technique when confronted by an opponent. Rather than look for a ball the former Benfica man flicked the ball high over Hayden Carter, took a step back to control the ball with his lap then send it to space inside. As if it was the most obvious thing in all the world to do.

Celtic were leading 2-1 at that stage with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.

    Here is latest news from a klan member who said it is on and from a good authority big Shirley to the cleaning material football club who have put in a £19 million offer him though sevco are holding off for £25 million,funny as f**k as I patronised him with an answer,well if he is worth the £25 million why does your klub not paying him the wages just to the value of a player at £25 million.

  • Scud Missile says:

    I can just see the headline on Monday’s daily sevco article written by auld pizza face and the guy with a coupon like a melted wellie none other than the BOOZE JOCKEY himself alkie coupon Jackass Jackson,the Leeds money all of the £55 million they got from Barcelona for Raphino to be handed over to sevco for Clarke Kent,it is an absolute certainty.

    • Scud Missile says:

      So Shirley is left out the sevco squad today with the klan klubs fans all excited about £25 million heading their way in transfer money for this nickel & dime player.
      He will for an undisclosed fee £2 million with add ons taking it to £25 million when Brighton win the EPL or if Ajax win the champions league.
      Which ever fantasy football club he goes to.
