“I just feel like I’m back home” – Jota helps Celtic to a dominant win at Fir Park

Jota returned from a 533-day absence following a cruciate ligament injury, coming off the bench as Celtic earned a 2-0 win over Motherwell at Fir Park. Camilo Duran opened the scoring inside nine minutes, and Benjamin Nygren added a second-half goal to secure the victory. The win ended a run of three consecutive defeats for Celtic and returned the club to the top of the Scottish Premiership table.

Writer Eric Knott argues that Jota's return alongside Haissem Hassan immediately elevated Celtic's attack, which registered 25 total chances with 15 on target. Knott notes that Jota will not feature in the upcoming European clash against Benfica because he was omitted from the Europa squad, but he contends the Fir Park performance provides Celtic needed momentum.
