    West Brom the best choice there, Sheffield are a mess and Burnley have pretty much sold all their best players.

    All the best to the lad, wouldn’t be surprised if he kicks on with a full season there.

    Good luck to him, he has the talent but not the mentality to make it here so it is best for all he moves on. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we make a nice chunk out of a sell on from him in a few years. If his body doesn't break down again at least.

    Wouldn't surprise me to see him doing well this season. It's a big ask, but if he can find that consistency he's been missing since he was about 18, there's a player there.

    This is a good move for all parties, I think West Brom will be pushing for promotion again and they've got a decent manager. If he can become a player who is decent at top end Championship/low end EPL level, he'd surprise many on here.

    I've always liked him, but his end product/decision making has always been questionable. Either way, best of luck Mikey!

    Sheffield United did not submit an official offer for Celtic winger Mikey Johnston, who is closing in on a move to one of their Championship rivals. The 25-year-old was a player of interest to the Blades this summer as they sought some more natural wingers, with Jesurun Rak-Sakyi arriving from Crystal Palace on loan earlier in the window.


    Reports earlier this week suggested that the Blades had agreed a fee with the Glasgow giants for Johnston, but we understand that they were wide of the mark and United in fact did not bid for Johnston. He was also of interest to Burnley, but is set to move to England with West Bromwich Albion ahead of tomorrow’s 11pm transfer deadline


    Blades boss Chris Wilder had been looking for another winger, an extra midfield player and a striker who could run in behind and stretch defences to complement his existing forward options. He had hoped to use United’s two remaining loan slots to supplement his squad and any deal for Johnston to Bramall Lane would likely have been a temporary one

    Johnston spent time on loan at the Hawthorns during the second half of last season, contributing seven goals and two assists in his 20 appearances, before featuring for Brendan Rodgers’ side in pre-season and scoring against Chelsea and DC United.


    Johnston has been left out of the Celtic squad for their last two games and is due in the Midlands for a medical ahead of a £3m permanent move. Speaking recently about Johnston’s future north of the border, Rodgers said: “We’ll just see what happens. He showed a real robustness, he trained right the way through and had some real nice impacts for us in our games

    He wanted to go out and play more, he did that at West Brom and done really, really well. Clearly, that will bring some attention to him. But we’ll see how the next week goes and take it from there

    Nothing but best wishes for Mikey Johnston. Hope he smashes it at West Brom. Probably the best choice for him. They have a decent side that should be in the promotion mix and he already has done well there so should be able to slot in quickly.

    Wish him well. Talented boy but the jersey weighed heavy upon him.

    Hope he has a great career.

    Amazing. This window has been beyond frustrating, especially this week. Shifting players clearly needing to move on makes me very happy though.

    Wish him all the best, but his last act for us being a face knock that forced him off the park couldn't have summed up his Celtic career any better.
