Glasgow Celtics Ange Postecoglou Have Just Signed 2 Best Player Of The team…
Mikey Johnston’s finest performance since joining the Baggies boosted his West Brom comeback up a notch.
With the cameras trained on Sky Sports on Friday night, all eyes were on the West Midlands, and it didn’t take Johnston long to make sure he was the talk of the town with an incredible first goal. With only five minutes remaining in their Championship match against Coventry, the on-loan Celtic winger scored his third goal on just his third start, skillfully looping one in from the left side of the box.
In their tweet commemorating the goal, West Brom called him “Magic Mike,” a nickname that may stay if his stellar play continues. He had averaged one goal for every 101 minutes of football played since moving south at the time of his goal.
“Mikey Johnston moved to West Brom and became a Ballon d’Or candidate,” one punter posted on X during the game, while another said, “He is outrageous when he’s on song.” And he wrote, “Any Celtic fans wondering how Mikey Johnston is doing at West Brom??” A cheeky Baggies supporter is trying to sign him for free. Complete nonsense, you ought to end his contract.
Co-commentator Andy Hinchliffe was enthralled with Johnston’s performance until he went off in the second half. This is how you win over a new group of admirers, he remarked. He has done this before, but none of them were as significant as this. Outstanding work by Mikey Johnston.
He still has a year left on his Celtic contract, and with his recent comeback, there are rumblings that he may find a home there. One fan, however, was more interested in making a profit from SELLING him than anything else, stating sarcastically, “Absolute scenes when we get £15m for him and he goes back to being his s**** self.”
