Aiden McGeady has told Jota to stick around at Celtic and back himself to earn big bucks down the road.
The 37-year-old has been in a similar situation after leaving Parkhead for Spartak Moscow in 2009 but is urging the Portuguese star to hone his undoubted skills in Glasgow for a little while longer. Al Ittihad are aiming to make the 24-year-old signed by Celtic in 2021 their latest marquee European import and a deal worth around £25m and a mind-boggling £200k per-week is on offer.
But McGeady - who is currently a free agent after leaving Hibs - insists it's not a move to run to quite yet. He said on Sportsound: "There's two ways of looking at it. Jota probably didn't have any real loyalty to Celtic, did he, it's a short career and some people look at it as can I make as much money as I can.
