Jota shares heartfelt message with Celtic support after emotional debut

 Jota has stated his heart is full after an emotional debut for Celtic.

The 25-year-old made his first start after returning during the January transfer window as he climbed off the bench in the 3-1 triumph against Motherwell.

Joat capped his return debut with a simple finish seconds before time - sparking huge celebrations and even leading the winger to start crying over the moment.

The Portuguese forward couldn't contain his emotions as he jogged back into position but was then quickly back over to supporters at full-time to lead joyous celebrations.

Jota has now shared a personal heartfelt thank you message to supporters  on his personal Instagram account.

On his emotional celebration, Jota explained: "Yeah, it has been some quite difficult moments, ups and downs and I just feel like I am back home and I couldn't be happier than this."

"Obviously, it has been a long time since I have been playing consecutively and I know it will take time to reach my best levels," said Jota.  "But with these amazing staff and team-mates I will work hard every day so I can achieve that as quick as possible."
