The emotional Jota marked their Celtic return with a goal as they softened the 3-1 victory against Motherwell without a manager at Fir Park.
The wing started on a bench joining the Scottish champions from Rennes and watched Daizen Maeda move to the opener after only 49 seconds.
Luke Armstrong straightened his first Motherwell start before Adam Idah shot from the Maeda Cross to take the lead before the break.
Var saved the blush of Tom Sparrow because his own goal was excluded due to the offsed, and the spectacular effort of Nicolas Kuhn was also disabled.
Jota showed the flashes of his best when he arrived late before he arrived at the end of Maed’s ball at the time of stopping to achieve him 3-1 before flared up as fans sang his name.
Celtic remained 10 points clear at the top of the premiere with the Motherwell Sixth.
Perfect Jot return for dominant hoops
Celtic, led by Callum McGregor on his 500th appearance. He never looked back after Idah ended in the 29th minute and Idah in the 29th minute with 14 games with a double double double against Aston Villa.
Maeda walked behind Marvin Callets and cut the ball on her face naked before he returned to head to Anthony Ralston after he rose above his wing.
Steelmen were on the back in the middle of the half when the two players who were combined in the first starts were combined.
Thompson’s cross was bounced by Auston Trusty, and Armstrong ended the first time. Cameron Carter-Vickers claimed that the player with the sequel to Carlisle pushed him into the back as the cross came in, but there was no varnish review.
However, Celtic was forward six minutes later. The first passage of Luka McCowan was given to Maeda behind the caleta, and Idah knocked home a low cross of Japan’s wing. Kaleta would soon go with the injury.
Visitors had two goals disabled for offsids, one came when Idah was punished after firing the ball in Sparrow before Kuhn marked after a shot.
Matterywell guardian Stephen Frail brought new signatures of Luke Plange and Will Dickson to supplement his strike forces, while Celtics limited capabilities were highlighted when the Yang Hyun-Jun wing player was replaced by Idah and Maeda moved to the center.
Yang saved a shot saved before Jota ran past several players and saw his race stopped on the edge of the box.
But the Portuguese winged player got a moment four minutes in stopping and providing a trademark of celebrating the raised newspaper in front of the visiting fans.
