A move back to Celtic would be welcomed by many but a loan deal for Jota would only be a short term fix with Brendan Rodgers clearly planning for the medium term.
The Israeli internationalist won’t be 22 until the start of October but the early signs are that he’ll be a starter under Rodgers with Maeda perhaps having a change of role, there could be two main strikers used with the attacking options open to Rodgers.
Jota’s sudden move to Al Ittihad was a shock to the system- perhaps the most ‘attached’ of Ange’s imports and certainly the only one to drop into the Brazen Head.
Rather than get his agent to dig out the Farewell Template Jota has delivered a passionate farewell message to the Celtic support.
Spookily, like Jota, Davidson can play on either wing as he’s demonstrated over the last two seasons in the Lowland League.
Jota on the Wing became a phenomenon, a catchy tune that caught the magic of Angeball as demonstrated by the Superstar from Portugal.
While Jota was helping Celtic to the treble Levitt went from the high of being in the Wales squad at the World Cup Finals to the misery of relegation as Dundee United hit rock bottom after the SPFL split.
It’s easy for people to question the players desire, but once that money is presented to you, it becomes hard to turn down. And I bet the pundits that are criticising him would all do exactly the same thing if they were offered the chance to.
Towards the end of the season it became clear the influence that Carter-Vickers exerts over the whole defence with Jota as influential as any attacker.
After two seasons in Scotland it seems inevitable that Jota has signed off with a goal in the final of the Scottish Cup to complete the domestic treble.
