Celtic Park was absolutely bouncing this evening after Liel Abada’s dramatic 1-0 winner against Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership.
Everyone inside Paradise knew the pressure was on Ange Postecoglou’s Bhoys to follow up Rangers’ slip up in Dingwall against Ross County with three points.
The tension was palpable in the closing half an hour of the game, especially after Nir Bitton was sent off with ten minutes to go.
However, a beautiful Jota cross landed at the feet of the Israeli attacker, who smacked the back of the net with a composed but powerful finish. It sparked scenes of jubilation at Celtic Park and no video better encapsulates it than this one from Twitter user @_EAMONFLYNN.
If you had any doubts about how much Jota loves playing for Celtic then put them all to rest right now.
That’s an absolutely iconic video, one of the best of the entire season. If we go on to win the league, it will also go down in history.
Jota’s presence off the bench was needed today. He always looked the most likely to create the big opportunity to win and so it transpired.
Last-minute winners always live long in the memory and today’s could be pivotal in the context of the entire season.
Ange Postecoglou has brought players to the club that have revitalised the support and created a new bond that sets the stage for success to come.
What a time it is to be a Celtic fan. Bring on Wednesday night.
