Ange Postecoglou has singled out Jota as the one the Celtic fans 'love to watch' as he handed him an 'outstanding' tag.
The Hoops attacker has been getting back to his best of late after a combination of injury and illness. He made what his club boss describes as an 'unbelievable' start to the season and has really picked up his form in the last couple of weeks with goals against Kilmarnock and Dundee United last month.
The Scottish champions hold a nine point lead over Rangers at the Premiership summit while they go head to head at the end of the month in the Viaplay Cup Final. The Scottish Cup is also on the line as the Parkhead side dream of a domestic Treble with the last 16 of the competition taking place next weekend. After getting back to his best, the winger looks set to play a key role in the hunt for the domestic clean sweep.

Postecoglou said: "People forget that Jota had an unbelievable start to the season. He was incredible in the first few months and then he picked up an injury, and also had a bit of illness.
"But I agree, he has been outstanding for us in the last couple of weeks. He has looked really bright with the ball, he is working hard and physically he is in great shape.
"Mentally he is in a great space and that is great for us. It all means he can finish the season really strong.
"If he is at his best, he isn't just a fantastic player for us but he is one who all our supporters love to watch. It's exciting every time he gets the ball.
"I don't think there would ever be a point where Jota doesn't love what he is doing. But like every footballer, you want to feel in a good condition to give the best of yourself.
"If you aren't, you can get frustrated as you want to do things, you aren't able to. But he's in a great space now and that's great for us.”
