Jota proved to be Celtic’s lucky charm as stats show the Scottish Premiership champions won EVERY league game the Portuguese winger started.
And Ryan Jack underlined his importance to rivals Rangers as was the Light Blues ‘lucky omen’ as the Ibrox side won 87.5 per cent of matches when the midfielder was named in the starting XI. Jack was hampered by injuries but was offered a one-year extension by boss Michael Beale recently.
However, it’s Jota who came out on top in research carried out by BonusCodeBets. The former Benfica star has become a real Parkhead fans’ favourite and as well as winning every game he started, he was also involved in 22 goal involvements for Ange Postecoglou’s men who romped the Scottish Premiership and are looking to make it a treble success at Hampden against Inverness on Saturday.
At the other end of the spectrum, Josh Sims, Ryan Alebiosu, Stephen Humphrys and Ross Graham all obtained losing percentages of at least 70% or higher from the season, making them ‘Unlucky Charms’ for their respective sides.
