Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has praised Jota for his 'lovely arrogance'.
The flamboyant Portuguese winger made his second Parkhead debut on Wednesday night as the Scottish Premiership champions moved 13 points clear of city rivals Rangers at the top of the table with a 6-0 trouncing of Dundee.
Although Jota didn't score, he more than made his contribution to the victory, setting up fellow wideman Daizen Maeda for his first of the night.
The 25-year-old opened his box of tricks on several occasions in what was an impressive homecoming.

Speaking post-match, boss Rodgers sang Jota's praises: "I'd obviously seen him before from the outside looking in, and then I've seen him train and work," he said.
"But he's a big player, so I can't wait for him to get up to the level in terms of that football fitness.
"He's missed a lot of football, hasn't played a great deal, but he's a class act, how he takes the ball. He has a lovely arrogance with the ball.
"But like you say, he's effective. He doesn't just look a good player, he is a good player. He can beat people and make a pass, make a cross, make a shot.
"He's a big talent."
Jota's abilities were apparent throughout his initial spell at Celtic.
Now, already, in his first two appearances his return, he has picked up a goal and assist.
With Maeda suspended for next week's mammoth Champions League tie with Bayern Munich, Jota will more than likely get the nod against the German giants as Rodgers' men look to write the next chapter in their 2024/25 European story.
