CELTIC winger Jota has been named as the Premiership's Player of the Month for April.
It is the third time the on-loan Benfica forward has won the monthly award after being named as the winner in October and November.
The Portuguese has made a big impression for Ange Postecoglou's side this term and supporters are hopeful that the 23-year-old will complete a permanent transfer this summer.
Upon receiving the award, Jota thanked everyone that supported him as he urged his Celtic team-mates to get their title tilt over the line in the final two mathes of the league season.
"I am delighted and really humbled to win this award after a great month for the team with some top results and performances," he said.
"I have just been one part of this success. Everyone at the club has been fantastic working together closely as a family to try and achieve what we want and with our fans right behind us we are nearly there.
"We have two big games to go and we want to give these the same energy and quality as we have all season - thank you so much to everyone who has supported us."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
