Ex-Celtic ace Jota fronts up apology over trophyless season in Saudi.
The 24-year-old has struggled for game time during his debut campaign in the Pro League, and it was well-documented that he was excluded from the club's domestic squad during the early stages of the campaign.
However, Marcelo Gallardo decided to give the Portuguese player a second chance in the side post-Christmas. At the weekend, Jota got on the scoresheet, but he couldn't prevent Ittihad from losing 3-1 to relegation-threatened Abha. "Al-Ittihad is a big club and will return to winning trophies. It is difficult to express what happened in today's match."Willie Collum will be the man in charge of the fixture which could go a long way to determining the outcome of this season's league title.The teams will meet at Celtic Park on Saturday lunchtime in what is sure to be a drama-filled afternoon in Glasgow.
