Celtic's Jota Injured, Doubtful for Rangers Clash

Celtic winger Jota suffered a knee injury during the team's 5-0 victory over Dundee United, forcing him off the field in the first half after he appeared to twist his knee. He was later seen on crutches and wearing a knee brace during post-match celebrations, raising concerns about a potential long-term absence. Although initial assessments by manager Brendan Rodgers suggest the injury may not be serious, Jota is unlikely to feature in the upcoming Glasgow Derby against Rangers. The full extent of his injury remains unclear, and further evaluation is expected in the coming days. His absence is a setback for Celtic as they approach crucial fixtures, including the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen, though there is hope he could recover in time. Jota's recent return to form had made him an integral part of Brendan Rodgers' squad.
