Happy Birthday Mikey Johnston

Mikey Johnston turns 21 today. Described as one of the best talents Damien Duff has ever seen, the young winger made a proper breakthrough this season and hit the ground running with a flurry of goals at the start of the campaign.

The winger scored against Sarajevo in July and also found the net in the 7-0 demolition of St Johnstone. Ravaged by injury, he fell out of the side for a short while, before returning in important matches and also scoring a superb solo goal against Rennes in the Europa League group stages.

You can enjoy some of his highlights of the season so far, below:

About Author

I have written four Celtic books since the age of 19: Our Stories & Our Songs: The Celtic Support, Take Me To Your Paradise: A History Of Celtic-Related Incidents & Events, Walfrid & The Bould Bhoys: Celtic's Founding Fathers, First Season & Early Stars, and The Holy Grounds of Glasgow Celtic: A Guide To Celtic Landmarks & Sites Of Interest. These were previously sold in Waterstones and official Celtic FC stores, and are now available on Amazon.
