    This. If he can stay fit and gets the minutes, he'll get better. He has the talent. Fingers crossed for him.

    Rodgers apparently called him out in his post match interview.

    Grand old team to play for
    His best play tonight was when he made the simple early passes. Was a bit disappointed in his efforts to try and get at his man make space to get a cross in.

    This should be interesting. No doubt blown out of all proportion by the eastenders squad.

    I thought he was mature in his performance tonight. Didn't try to beat his man everytime and kept it simple if he needed. He won't replace Maeda or Abada but he did well enough.

    Right back onto the hamster wheel with the manager of him not doing enough for the team.

    I feel the year will be 2033 and we’ll still be on the rollercoaster with him, it’s never ending.

    Brendan Rodgers insists Mikey Johnston "needs to do more" if he wants to be a regular starter for Celtic.

    The winger began his first game for the Parkhead side in over 22 months as the Scottish champions ran out 4-1 winners against Nick Montgomery's men thanks to a double from Oh Hyeon-gyu, a header from Matt O'Riley and Luis Palma converting from the penalty spot.

    And Rodgers feels that the Republic of Ireland international needs to make more of an impact.

    Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland, he said: "Mikey needs to do more, that is the reality.

    "He is a big talent, and he comes into the game. However, if he is starting a game then we need more from him.

    "That is something we will hopefully see over time. He is not young, he is 24 and at some point you need to grab the bull by the horns and be aggressive.

    "Sometimes it can be easier coming off the bench as you come in and show your qualities, but I think if any player wants to be starter then they need to show that personality.

    "He has been really good in training and earned the start so hopefully he can show more of his qualities."

    Don't worry, he'll be ousted if he doesn't turn it on by the new year.

    There's no hiding from that fir MJ.

    If Rodgers thought he wasn't capable he wouldn't take the time to go into that much detail, but he clearly feels it's worth his time to challenge Mikey publicly to see if he can get a reaction.

    Tick tock Mikey bhoy, it's now or never.

    Good comments from Rodgers.

    He did nothing tonight.
