Celtic fans were left jubilant yesterday when Jota scored the winning goal to take the Hoops into the Scottish Cup Final, and it looks like Portugal boss Roberto Martinez was watching too.

Reports are emerging that the manager is in Glasgow, and Jota himself was taken aback when asked if he was aware of his presence.

His goal yesterday may well have caught Martinez‘s eye, with the winger’s positioning and knowledge allowing him to get on the end of the wonderful cross from Maeda. 

Jota was surprised when he found out that the national boss was in Glasgow.

He joked: [Football Scotland]

“Is he? Well, I didn’t know that. Enjoy the weather, the amazing weather in Glasgow. Not like Portugal, I can assure that.”

He continued: “We just had a game against Rangers, that’s not something we should speak about now. Let’s just enjoy the moment.”

Having been capped at youth level for his country, Jota will be looking to break into the senior side soon.
