The returning fans' favourite has been branded 'absolute class' by pundit Michael Stewart
Jota 's return to Celtic will push his team-mates to a new level with competition for places 'through the roof'.
That has thrown up the old debate whether the champions have come out of January weaker than they went in. Pundit Michael Stewart says it is debatable, insisting bringing back 'absolute class' Jota will raise the standards of his colleagues.
He said: "From a mangers perspective of course when you lose someone like Kyogo you want a marquee signing to replace him. But I do honestly think - I have heard a few people talking about their overall squad being weaker - I think it is debatable.
