Jota wants to 'bring joy' to Celtic supporters in second spell

Jota wants to "bring joy" to the Celtic supporters even though "times have changed" at Parkhead.

Having left in the summer of 2023, the winger returns to Glasgow on a five-and-a-half-year deal after leaving French side Rennes where he spent the last six months following a tough spell in Saudi Arabia.

Since his last spell in Glasgow, there's a new man at the helm in Brendan Rodgers and new attacking partners to get to grips with.

"The last year-and-a-half has had its ups and downs," the 25-year-old told CelticTV.

"But that's life and that's how football is.

"I think it's a really exciting time to be working with someone who has achieved so much and who is giving so much joy and happiness to the Celtic family.

"Times have changed with new team-mates and a new coach but the idea and the path that Celtic always aims for is to go forward and it's here, it's part of the DNA.

"I just want to come and help as much as I can and to contribute to the team and achieve big things, just like in the past.

"The aim is to win matches and give joy to the fans, and in the end it's about winning titles and that's what we are here to do."
