Jota sees THAT Celtic transfer exit prophecy come true as gutted star fronts up to his Saudi reality live on air

06.05.2024 - 19:57 dailyrecord.co.uk

Winger Jota has fronted up to Al-Ittihad's problems as he prepares to finish his first season in the Saudi Pro League without a trophy - as he failed to clamp a key criticism over his Celtic exit.

The 24-year-old has finally been given a run in the starting line-up in the Middle East following his £25m departure from the Scottish Premiership - having initially not been registered on the list of foreign players allowed in the Ittihad league squad.

That limited Jota to cameos in cup competitions and occasional Asian Champions League appearances - but he has been handed a second chance by boss Marcelo Gallardo.

But despite more regular minutes he has failed to help the club land any silverware this season - with criticism mounting from the fans inside the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium over the performances of the dethroned Saudi champions.

The IPL 2024 playoffs will not have any England cricketer competing who are part of the T20 World Cup 2024 squad as they were called back by the England Cricket Board (ECB) for a training camp ahead of the competition. As a result, the likes of Jos Buttler (Rajasthan Royals), Phil Salt (Kolkata Knight Riders) and Will Jacks (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) will not be a part of the competition anymore despite the fact that all of their teams are in the race for the playoffs. Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan took to social media to express his feeling regarding the development and he delivered a brutal message for the departing players. "Either be available for full season or don't come!" he posted on X (formerly Twitter).
