Jota has been spotted back training at Lennoxtown. Celtic travel to Rugby Park to face Kilmarnock this weekend, in the ground’s first match with a grass pitch since 2014. Shaun Maloney was the face of training at Lennoxtown after Martin O’Neill’s small procedure in hospital earlier this week. Jota has been out of action for 15 months at this point, having suffered a designated ACL injury at Tannadice last May. Celtic paid £8 million to bring Jota back to Glasgow in January 2025, just 18 months after selling him to Al-Ittihad for £25 million.
