    Can’t translate his form for the Development side to the main team which points directly to the fact he needs loaned out to get first team experience somewhere.

    He should go down to League One for a season and get games and goals under his belt. Come back up the road a man.

    Definitely needs a loan..

    Playing most weeks left wing or as a 10..

    Throwing him in to game's like today at right wing back will do nothing for his confidence..

    Lenny * Dylan McGeouch by doing the exact same as right wing back which was complete madness..

    I still have faith in him but he isn't ready just yet..

    I actually think he’s bulked up a wee bit over the last few months, he was a streak of * in the December game. He looked visibly broader today.

    But aye he’s still a bit off it physically.

    For the second time he's been well and truly thrown under the bus at the * pit. First game up front on his own this time right wing back. * knows what lenny was playing at today. An absolutely bizarre call.

    Aye he does look a bit fuller, but still looks like a wee lost boy.

    Yeah and it canny be doing any good for his confidence tbh, could understand his inclusion today if he'd featured in some games in the last few weeks, but to throw him in to todays game was just mental.

    Playing him at the * pit in December was one of BR’s most bizarre decisions and it is unbelievable Lenny did the very same thing today.
    Not Johnston’s fault but he’s not ready for these kind of games.

    I think if he changed his name from Mikey he would automatically gain a few pounds of muscle

    I can only assume he was picked today cause of his performance in The Glasgow Cup Final.

    But I don't understand why at right wing back.

    It wasn't so much Lennon's team selection but his mad formation today that made no sense.

    People are going over the score with the criticism though

    Anybody know what the formation was!?

    The real problem isn't Mikey Johnston starting, it's the fact we had nobody better than him or Burke to start.

    Needs loaned out next season, for sure. He's been on a hiding to nothing in both games at Ibrox, though. Played as a striker last time and a right wing back for a period yesterday.

    Not exactly doing the guy any favours throwing him in twice at the carbolic arena.

    He's starting to become associated with some terrible results, not his fault of course but his face is starting to annoy me.
