‘Just chill’, that was the message from Jota to a BBC journalist after the Celtic star was asked if this felt like they made a big statement in the title race after their 4-0 Glasgow Derby win.
Jota was instrumental in Celtic embarrassing their opponents on the day and scored an incredible goal to make it 2-0.
After the game, the Celtic hero did the media rounds and when the question about the title race came up, he was laughing and made it clear that nothing has been won in September.
What a brilliant response from our winger. This isn’t just bravado or talking for the cameras, the whole team will genuinely believe there’s a long way to go – as they should.
The opposite questions were getting put to Celtic last year around September. The media were asking Ange if the league was over after going 7 points behind, the league wasn’t over and it proved to be the case.
Celtic will be confident in their ability to go and retain their league title, but there’s a lot of hard graft to do before anyone can celebrate.
