    I feel if there was an award for best player pre-season he would have about 4 of them.

    keep it up, if anyones watching coupled with last year’s cameo in the Championship we might get some real money for him.


    Honestly a player who doesn’t have his injury record goes on loan down there, scores several blinders, runs riot, gets PotM and shows he could be a real attacking threat to gain promotion we’d be looking at £10m odd now.

    I’d ask for £4m as it is, with a 15% sell on at least. He’s one that either will immediately get injured or does what he done last year for a full season and go for £20m to a just relegated team to make sure they’re going back up and have the parachute payments.

    That seems laughable to a few * I’ve said that to but does anyone think if he done a solid season of his form for West Brom but he’s signed at an English club that would be unrealistic? Oli McCburnie and the like going for that money, and it’s far more inflated now.

    We need to do it this summer though, he’s a player who needs confidence and he has that after his loan. One game at Parkhead and the derision a lot of our fans have for him, a genuine absolute maybe hatred is too far but not by much directed towards him by his own fans will destroy that.

    And we do that to him, it’s mad. I don’t get why * genuinely dislike him, rather than just thinking shouldn’t be playing and not good enough club needs to sort that out rather than the abuse that gets thrown his way. Can hear everything on the wing anaw

    I've defended him in the hopes of him maturing a bit, but he's still playing his football like my 12 year old nephew.

    Time to move on I think

    Playing for Celtic is just too important to him, nerves show at every opportunity, he plays well for West Brom and Ireland so there’s a player in there but sadly we won’t be seeing it

    I think he’s just giving him a last hoorah tbh. so he can say look mikey can’t say I didn’t give ye a chance. Yer just not cutting it hope ye have a good career but it won’t be here type of thing :fear:
    The pressure of playing for us is too much for him and I think he knows it. I reckon this is his last game in the hoops…

    Doubt it, he's never a striker. Just playing there so Kyogo isn't doing 90 minutes every match of preseason

    Hopefully he's put himself right in the shop window.

    Mon, someone bite.

    but Johnston’s future is not yet clear after the wide man notched again on his return from his loan spell at West Brom last season

    The boss said: “It was just about Mikey coming back and getting himself fit. Mikey is 25 now and he probably wants to play. We'll just wait and see. There was no real discussions yet, its just to get back fit and see where it takes us

    I am shocked no Championship club has came in for him after last season.

    Good wee cameo either way.

    Seems like the kind of chap who could attract a £10million bid from Saudi and thrive over there.

    I mean, £10m is a bit OTT but 100% seems like a Saudi buy. If Hendry is over there, MJ definitely has the chance.

    He's gonna be our third choice striker, isn't he?

    No going back or 6th chance for MJ
    Ref BR comments, he's basically on the transfer list
