    Same, he's not had a break coming off the MLS season then the World Cup and straight in against the Huns. Give Tony the rest of the season and let Johnston rest up.

    Absolutely we should not risk him for the cup final and I don't imagine we would either. Having said that it would be a massive boost if he was fit and able to play in it and it sounds like there is a chance that could be the case.

    Its OK saying that but the boy will absolutely want to play in the final.
    So if he passes fitness test, should be in the squad.
    Never know whats around the corner, chance to play a cup final may not come again for him.

    I'd have him in the squad but I'd start Ralston. Ralston is still a quality player and a major part of our success last season.

    I wouldn't rush him back but if he's training and earning a place, I wouldn't deny him a cup final last game of the season to protect him.

    Be interested to see how fit he comes back from an injury though, he seems very naturally fit. Whereas Tony needs a wee run up to it.

    The hope is still that he will make the cup final but nothing I have seen yet on if that seems likely or not.

    This was a great knockabout interview with 3 guys who showed great camaraderie, which in no way was forced.

    They exemplified the togetherness that has already been mooted by the likes of Matt O’Riley, and our Captain Fantastic.

    I hope these 3 stars - along with others are here for the long haul.

    I loved the interview and I love Celtic.

    Hail Hail.
