He had to wait until the 69th minute to get off the bench but Jota couldn’t resist the joy of Celtic’s equaliser against Ross County.
The former Benfica winger was warming up behind the goal when Reo Hatate dribbled deep into the Ross County penalty area.
David Turnbull tamed the cut back with his right foot then shot through Ross Laidlaw’s legs with his left foot with a huge roar greeting the ball hitting the back of the net.
Suddenly Jota raced onto the pitch to join in the celebrations as Ange Postecoglou’s side cancelled out the penalty that had put Ross County in front.

30 seconds – ‘pitch invader’
Six minutes after the equaliser Sead Haksabanovic drilled a low shot across goal and in at the far post as the As It Stands SPFL table showed a six point gap at the top.
Jota got on for 20 minutes but there were no more goals or the drama that was Turnbull’s equaliser.
Jota and habsvanovic,have got to be the steal of the century,both are wonderful football players, well done Celtic for getting these guys.
