Gordon Strachan admits he has no problem with Jota moving to Saudi Arabia.
The Celtic winger has departed the Scottish champions for a big money fee to Al-Ittihad and is set to bank huge wages after penning a three-year deal. He will ply his trade under countryman Nuno Espirito Santo and team up with superstars Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante - who will provide a real learning curve for the 24-year-old says the ex-Hoops gaffer.
Strachan - who also previously managed Scotland - has challenged anyone to be put in that same position and turn down the massive wage hikes on offer. In three years time at the end of his current contract Jota will be only 27 and coming up for the peak of his career. He will be a huge miss for Celtic after two hugely successful seasons in Scotland.
