Story updated
The story in brief
26-second readCeltic may still need a new right winger in January despite Jota’s return from a lengthy injury lay-off, with squad depth remaining a concern for Martin O’Neill.
The Portuguese attacker recently returned to competitive action against Motherwell, featuring off the bench in Celtic’s 2-0 victory at Fir Park. His comeback offers a welcome boost after an absence of around 18 months.
However, one appearance cannot erase every concern surrounding his fitness. Jota suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury against Dundee United in April 2025, forcing Celtic to manage without one of their most dangerous attacking options.
