Jota Rangers vs Celtic injury fear as winger spotted in knee brace & using crutches

Jota appears to be a major doubt for the derby match between Celtic and Rangers next weekend after being spotted in a knee brace.

During title celebrations, Jota came onto the pitch on crutches and a knee brace following the injury issue.
