Celtic ledged Jota Filipe has been pictured visiting a famous Glasgow pub ahead of the all important Scottish Cup semi-final match which takes place this Sunday (April 30).
Spotted at the Brazen Head, a famous Glasgow pub located on Cathcart Road, it has been an iconic bar for Hoops fans since 1994, using the same name of the famous bar in Dublin.
Inside, Celtic memorabilia hangs from the walls with heroes, past and present, featured during historical moments in the club's history.

Uploading six pictures of the Parkhead favourite ahead of the upcoming game at Hampden, Jota can be seen admiring the walls with signed shirts and facts about the club and its people - and people were clearly keen to see the star with smiles all around.
Sporting his day-to-day attire and out of Hoops gear, he was snapped alongside Brazenhead staff with them uploading it to Facebook alongside the caption: "On the Brazen wing" with many quickly having the viral song 'Jota on the wing' stuck in their heads which was performed by Ellie Dixon at one of their recent games.
Taking to the comments, people were quick to show their love and support for the Hoops star with one saying: "Just about the only person in Scotland that would get away with wearing double denim, still love ye jotaaaa."
Another said: "Class photos."
"Brilliant pics! Best Celtic pub in Glasgow" wrote a third.
His visit to the popular Celtic bar comes as the Hoops continue preparations for the huge Scottish Cup semi-final showdown with Rangers this weekend.
Ange Postecoglou's men have already defeated the Light Blues at Hampden in the League Cup Final earlier this year and victory in Mount Florida would make them heavy favourites to go on and complete a domestic Treble. They currently hold a 13 point lead over Michael Beale's troops at the Premiership summit with a potential title party to come at Tynecastle in the first match of the league split schedule.
But all focus will be on the national stadium this weekend and Jota could return to the fold alongside Liel Abada and Reo Hatate in what would be a major boost for Celtic.
Speaking to Celtic TV about the fitness state of play over the key trio, Postecoglou said: "We’ll see how they go. Abada, Jota and Reo are the main three. They are due to train all week, so it will just come down to how they go through the training week.
“If they get through the training week, they will be available. Everyone got through the weekend okay. It’s only really James Forrest who probably won’t be available come the semi-final.”
