Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readRangers scorer frustrated as Celtic manager plays down hopes of winger getting starts.
Rumour · This claim is unconfirmed.
From the source
Late equaliser scorer Olwethu Makhanya feels Rangers showed "a lack of character" and "came out leggy" in the second half of Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Hearts at Tynecastle.
Celtic manager Martin O'Neill indicates it will be some time before winger Jota, 27, starts games after only recently returning from long-term injury. O'Neill believes the point picked up in Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Dundee United might prove to be a precious one.
Right-back Chris Cadden, 30, may have added to Aberdeen's injury worries going into Saturday's League Cup semi-final with Rangers after limping off during Wednesday's 1-0 defeat by Falkirk.
