It is looking like a busy season ahead for Benfica Youth as they keep track of Jota and his exploits at Celtic.Â
Hopes of a recall to the Stadium of Light were ended on July 1 when a permanent transfer was announced by Celtic. Even the reported 30% sell on clause isn’t providing much consolation to fans of the Lisbon club who watched the schoolboy develop his talent for over a decade with the Portuguese side.Â
After sharing a couple of clips of the assists that were too much for Ross County to cope with Benfica Youth came up with a graphic that touches the surface of Jota’s impact at Celtic.Â

Next up for the winger is a trip to the plastic pitch of Rugby Park, just the second time domestically that Jota will have experienced that type of surface as a Celtic player.Â
How he adapts to that new challenge will go a long way to deciding whether Celtic retain their 100% record this season and extend their unbeaten SPFL run to 35 matches.Â
Should we trust the awful plastic Not to be the cause of Jota getting injured if i were Ange i would rest him for the game,,,,,why risk the genius that is jota’s dancing feet on a rotten pitch when more important games will come along shortly!!
