Martin O'Neill has told Celtic fans the club are "really trying" to secure his first January signing amid fears Jota is likely to remain sidelined until the summer.

Centre-back Stephen Welsh has been recalled from his loan spell at Motherwell, while Mexico defender Julian Araujo arrived on loan from Bournemouth earlier this month, before manager Wilfried Nancy and head of football operations Paul Tisdale left the club.
