The finish was sensational. The celebration was iconic. Jota’s Old Firm heroics earlier this season wowed Parkhead punters so much his famous post goal post ended up on the front of T-shirts. The Portuguese ace was delighted to give fans a magical moment but he insists he has plenty more up his cuff.
Jota’s sizzling displays have made him a Hoops favourite but his two goals against their old foes that cracks up the adulation another level. Especially the sublime dinked effort in the 4-0 win in September when he helped rip Rangers to shreds. Jota’s raised fist became the image of the win – but he admitted the celebration wasn’t planned.
He said: “No, it was something in the moment. Really. I’m serious. I’m just grateful for that as it was a really good moment for me. If people can look back on that moment and it brings them a bit of happiness then I’m happy as well. It’s all about the happiness.”
