Mark Wilson articulates a concern regarding Jota’s potential return to Celtic.

The past few days in Glasgow have been nothing short of tumultuous, and this observation pertains not to the meteorological conditions, but rather to the recent developments at Celtic Football Club.

Following Celtic’s victory over Young Boys in the Champions League on Wednesday evening, few would have anticipated that Brendan Rodgers would be gearing up for the match against Aston Villa with Jota in the lineup and without Kyogo Furuhashi.

However, in the frenetic and rapidly evolving realm of football, this situation arises as the agreement for Jota has been finalised, and he has returned to Paradise. Upon Rodgers’ return to the club in the summer of 2023, he had narrowly missed the opportunity to collaborate with the dynamic forward, who was in the process of finalising a lucrative transfer to Saudi Arabia.

But now, everyone is going to see just how the 25-year-old will fare under the Celtic leader after smashing it up under Ange Postecoglou. Since Jota’s departure, there have been no alterations, as he secured the Treble prior to leaving, and it is now possible to achieve the same accomplishment by the conclusion of this season. Mark Wilson expresses his concerns regarding Jota’s potential re-signing with Celtic.

This is a moment of mixed emotions for the Celtic supporters; while many express joy at the return of Jota, they simultaneously experience disappointment at the departure of Kyogo. Mark Wilson conveyed to Clyde 1 Superscoreboard that Jota’s arrival “mitigates the impact” of their Japanese superstar’s transfer to Rennes, and he remarked on how Celtic’s “entertainer” has returned to don the green and white colours.

However, Wilson did acknowledge that his primary concern regarding the acquisition of the Portuguese star is that, frequently, players returning to their former clubs do not achieve the desired success.”It mitigates the impact of a hero such as Jota returning, as he was indeed regarded as such by the Celtic supporters,” stated Wilson.

“He was regarded as a hero not only for his skilful manoeuvres and dexterous techniques but also for his ability to deliver tangible results.” This is the reason he is transferred for a fee of £25 million. This mitigates the impact of Kyogo’s departure. Frequently, the return of players to their former organisations does not yield successful outcomes.

This concern pertains to players rejoining their previous organisations. “From a business perspective, it was undoubtedly prudent for him to depart.” I believe that all parties acted appropriately in this matter, and upon the emergence of his name, it is likely that every Celtic supporter expressed a keen interest in his return. Solely due to his exceptional talent.

Kuhn possesses an electrifying speed that enables him to manoeuvre past others with remarkable agility. However, Jota serves as the entertainer. It is important to acknowledge that, at Celtic Park, supporters frequently attend with the expectation of being entertained, and he undoubtedly fulfilled this

expectation during his initial tenure. Is he capable of replicating that achievement? What is he going to appear like under Brendan Rodgers? A markedly distinct design. A distinctly different manager and individual.

I am curious as to whether he derives greater benefit from him. Or to a lesser extent? “Only time will reveal the outcome.”How has Jota performed since departing from Celtic? As previously indicated, Jota’s transfer to Saudi Arabia was advantageous for all involved parties. Al-Ittihad successfully acquired their target, while Celtic received a substantial financial sum, and the player also benefited financially. Notwithstanding his considerable achievements at Parkhead, his tenure did not yield favourable outcomes, and circumstances deteriorated further at Rennes. Although Jota joined the French club during the summer, he participated in only a limited number of matches, which subsequently created an ideal opportunity for Celtic.
