    Absolutely buzzing. That song gives me goosebumps every time. I honestly think he’s going to prove a total steal at 8mill.

    Genuinely thought there was no chance he was coming back, incredible.

    Actually emotional about it, how many transfers in as a Celtic fan can you say that about?

    Delighted.

    But still bittersweet with Kyogo gone.

    Need a real striker, with genuine movement a la kyogo, larsson et al.

    Easy enough to say that.
    A lot harder for a club like us to land that standard of player.

    Even if we increase what we usually spend.....say to £15m (that would be the starting price for a CL standard striker)....the wages he'd demand would be sky high and he would likely have other and possibly better options than coming to Scotland.

    Champions League football is a lure for a lot of players. But a lot of players also would pick to move even to a club in bottom half of the English prem over Champions League nights with us. The difference in wages is unreal and also they'll then be playing out their skin, trying to land a move to bigger English club I.e - Arsenal or Liverpool.

    Excellent. Sounds like what most of us suspected: he just didn’t settle, so now a familiar environment should see him back to his best.

    I think he’ll love working with Rodgers as well. He’s the sort of character who needs more of the carrot than the stick, I think. He thrived so much here before because he knew he was loved by the fans.
    Rodgers with the arm round the shoulder could take him to the next level.

    Genuinely thrilled at the thought of him on one wing and Kühn on the other.

    Definitely agree on wages from the EPL/championship dross, but they're not really a bigger profile than us for a big move... Performing for us in Europe would negate the league effect. Get through 2 qualification legs and then it's a load of games against the European elite.

    Jota spent only six months in Rennes before returning to Scotland. A former Celtic player , the Portuguese winger ended a year and a half of ordeal in Brittany in Saudi Arabia to make his big return to Scotland. Bought by the Bhoys in exchange for a check worth between €7 and €8 million, Jota explained his choice to return to Paradise.

    It’s very nostalgic for me because it was an amazing feeling and all the moments I had during my two seasons here and I’m just delighted to be back. I’m very excited and I can’t wait to get started. The best thing about Glasgow, apart from Celtic obviously, is the people and I feel like I need a place with a soul, where I feel at home. It’s definitely something I’ve been looking for and I don’t think there’s a better choice than Celtic. I’m very excited. The last year and a half has had its ups and downs but that’s life and that’s how football works. Now I’m looking forward to working hard, getting back to the lads and feeling comfortable ,” he told Celtic’s official website.
