After a whirlwind romance with Celtic fans, Jota's journey through Saudi Arabia and now France has been less than stellar. Once a beloved hero in Glasgow, Jota's career has taken a downturn, leaving him sidelined at Rennes and questioning his next move.

And Jota is once again asking himself soul-searching questions as he has been reduced to a peripheral role at Rennes compared to his leading status under Ange Postecoglou.
