After a three week absence Jota looks to be in contention for a return to action at Livingston on Sunday.

The winger was replaced at half-time away to St Johnstone on October 8 with Ange Postecoglou putting the decision down to fatigue.

After being posted missing game by game through two Champions League home matches Jota was spotted in the video clip that Celtic released from training at Lennoxtown this morning.

Jota can be seen at 45 seconds, Stephen Welsh and Carl Starfelt are also included.

Whether he is ready to start a match on the plastic pitch at Livingston is probably a decision for Celtic’s medical team but from the brief video clip he appeared to be fully involved in training.

Ange Postecoglou has a number of wingers that he can call on but when fully fit there is little doubt that Jota goes straight into the Starting XI.

Following Sunday’s SPFL tie Celtic say farewell to the Champions League away to Real Madrid with Jota scoring in his last appearance, equalising away to RB Leipzig.
