Jota returns to Celtic SPFL

Jota has returned to Celtic, signing a five-and-a-half-year contract to rejoin the Scottish champions.

The Portuguese winger, who proved a fans' favourite during his first spell with the club, has agreed to join from French Ligue 1 side Rennes.

Jota left Glasgow 18 months ago to join Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Ittihad having won five trophies in Scotland under Ange Postecoglu.

Having scored 28 goals in 83 appearances, the 25-year-old is hoping to experience similar success with current Celtic boss, Brendan Rodgers.

While Jota arrives at Celtic Park, striker Kyogo Furuhashi has completed his transfer to Rennes. The forward scored 85 goals for Celtic during his three-and-a-half-year spell.
