Jota ended Kilmarnock’s impressive resistance on the stroke of half-time to send Celtic on their way to a 2-0 victory that puts them 12 points clear at the top of the Premiership.
Kilmarnock arrived at Celtic Park with only two points gained on the road this season but gave the home side very little encouragement in the opening 44 minutes. However, Jota netted from close range in the final minute of the first half before Celtic added a second shortly after the interval.
