Celtic forward Jota and his teammate Joe Hart pulled off one of the most creative celebrations in recent memory during their Scottish Premiership clash against Aberdeen.
Ange Postecoglou's side managed to secure victory in a five-goal thriller at Pittodrie on Wednesday night.
And it was a brace from 23-year-old Portuguese forward Jota that secured the points for the league leaders, who are currently one point ahead of Old Firm rivals Rangers after this week's win.
Jota, who joined the Scottish club from Benfica on a season-long loan in August, has been a revelation since arriving in Glasgow.
The Lisbon-born forward has netted ten times in all competitions, with his unique goal celebrations going down a hit with supporters. Last month, he celebrated a 92nd-minute winner against Dundee United by celebrating with the fans.

And on Wednesday night, the former Real Valladolid loanee celebrated in style again - but this time, he used a wonderful pre-rehearsed routine with former Manchester City and England goalkeeper Joe Hart.
Moments after scoring his first of the night against Stephen Glass' side, Jota decided to bring out the imaginary golf club and swing it towards his own goal.
Initially, fans were confused as to why he brought out the celebration as cameras didn't zoom out but after full-time, footage emerged of Joe Hart's reaction behind the Aberdeen goal. This is great.

How good was that?
Celtic will face off against Raith Rovers in the Scottish Cup on Sunday afternoon and well, I can imagine Jota has another memorable goal celebration in mind if he does find the back of the net.
