CELTIC ace Jota has been named the Cinch Premiership player of the month for October following a string of impressive performances for the Hoops.

The 22-year-old, who joined Celtic on a season-long loan from Benfica, has already scored six goals in 15 appearances, which included two in October – against Aberdeen and Motherwell.

Ange Postecoglou’s side enjoyed a good run of Premiership results throughout October, with four wins and just one draw, and the Celtic manager was last week named manager of the month.

Now Jota has made it a Celtic double for October with the player of the month award, and the Portuguese star has continued his good form into November, scoring three goals so far and helping the Hoops reach the League Cup final.
