Celtic defeated Rangers by a goal to nil this afternoon as Ange Postecoglou’s men took a colossal step towards a treble.
The Hoops were solidified throughout the ninety and remained professional in order to secure victory, Jota’s header proving decisive.
Towards the end of the first half, Borna Barisic took out Matt O’Riley. Everyone switched off apart from Daizen Maeda.
The Japanese latched onto the ball ahead of the sleeping Ben Davies and played a pinpoint cross to Jota at the back post.
The 24 year old got to the ball ahead of James Tavernier who was standing staring into space and headed back across Allan McGregor to net:

Jota ran off in delight as he bagged his third Glasgow derby goal of the season.
His iconic celebration defined the type of player and person he is.
Going from wearing double denim in the Brazenhead on Thursday to scoring in the Glasgow derby on Sunday, Jota really does do what he wants.
