Jota insisted his blinding strike to sink Aberdeen was one of the best of his career. But hardline boss Ange Postecoglou warned the Portuguese pin-up against being wasteful after admitting Celtic’s hero was a main culprit of overall slackness during a mid-match lull.
Jota ’s stunning second-half effort added to Stephen Welsh ’s early header to give the champions a 2-0 win to start their title defence. It was a breathtaking effort from the £6million man who, when asked if he’d scored one better, said: “This one was probably one of the best, yeah.
“It was definitely a good moment for me and in my career. I just got the opportunity to shoot and it went in. I get on the pitch and sometimes I just go blind! Sometimes it’s difficult to listen to what is happening in the stands because we are so focused on doing the right thing that we just go blind. It’s a flow moment. I was very happy.”
