    It’s as quiet as he’s been since he returned. But even with that, his movement, control and quick passing is quality. He wasn’t electric, which is what we expect and what usually he delivers but even him quiet screams quality.

    First I’ve seen him looking like his fitness is still a work in progress just now. It’s not been at all before, think that’s why BR was pointing it out so much that.

    He still looks off the pace to me, which isn't unexpected given how long he didn't play consistently. He'll be a different beast next season.

    Thought he started off slow but came into the game later on, where I thought he done well, done amazing to keep the ball in play.

    I think we're starting to see fatigue a bit now, would.be using both Idah and Yang more after the huns game and give him a bit of rest.

    I have actually been pleasantly surprised at how good he has been since returning considering how little game time he has had over an extended period. But for sure you can tell he is not operating at 100%. Which considering how good he has looked already it truly is exciting to think how good he can be when he is back fully with a proper pre-season behind him next season.

    Full pre-season and he'll be electric next season.

    The thought of him and KT on the left... with Schlupp too hopefully.

    Stupid cow on sky sports called him "Diego Jota"

    They really are * clueless when it comes to anything Scottish football related.

    Banging on about how the huns came back to win a dead rubber against 2nd bottom of the league, as if that's the most important game, yet Celtic are marching towards the title.

    He's constantly improving and regaining his fitness. A joy to watch, really glad he came back and looking forward to him pairing up with KT.

    Jota is absolutely miles ahead of schedule given lack of game time last 18 months
    Thought I wouldnt even see him off bench first few months, but he's tied down starting slot and contributing brilliantly.
    Can't wait for next season with KT on the left.

    His crossing on his left is unbelievable how good and consistent it is for his weaker foot, not really lead to any goals since he came back but will at some point.

    He’s just very consistent. He rarely has a game where he isn’t involved or creating much.

    Always feel when he digs a cross out off his left it’s better than his right.

    Must be how he sells the dummy so well. If he had pace he’d be at the very top imo.
