Al Ittihad lay it on thick as they take Jota lock, stock and barrel

As well as paying Celtic £25m it seems that Al Ittihad have signed up two seasons of memories and images of the Superstar from Portugal.

Around 9.30pm last night a video was released featuring Nuno Espirito Santo dealing the cards as video clips of Jota played in the background.

That was just the start with the Saudi club quickly sharing a range of graphics that seemed to strip down the memories of the iconic goals and celebrations.

All that was missing was a couple of pictures of the winger sitting in the Brazen Head wearing some vintage Al Ittihad kit.

It is changed days from 1977 when Celtic fans picked up their morning paper to discover that Kenny Dalglish has joined Liverpool for a club record of £440,000.

There is likely to be more Jota content coming out of Al Ittihad today, probably an interview or two but the focus now for Celtic is to bring in replacements for Jota and the recently retired Aaron Mooy.
