Jota takes on Celtic conductor role as winger laps up late winner in the Parkhead terraces

Jubilant Celtic fans lapped up a last minute winner against Dundee United that changed the complexion of the title race.

The atmosphere was electric at Celtic Park after Liel Abada 's late winner closed the gap on leaders Rangers to two points.

With a derby day clash just around the corner, confidence is clearly building in the stands and in the dressing room at Celtic Park.

And winger Jota is clearly loving every minute of it as he lapped up the late drama.

The Benfica loanee was snapped by a fan celebrating among the crowd and getting them pumped up after a potential turning point in the Premiership title race.

He's then mobbed by supporters who attempt to carry him on their shoulders before he takes a dive into the crowd.

The Benfica loanee was introduced by Ange Postecoglou at the break as he steps up his recovery from injury.

Having impressed in the second half, it will give the Australian plenty to think about as he contemplates who will start when Gio van Bronchorst's men arrive in Glasgow's east end.
