I see Rodgers has said Mikey Johnston will stay and get a few games.

What’s everyone’s thoughts?

I’m glad to see it. Young players obviously do need to be playing games so there’s no point keeping him if he won't play. However had izzaguire never been injured when he did perhaps Tierney wouldn’t have got his chance and went out on loan.

You never know what they are capable of until they get a chance.

I think we have our replacement for Roberts but he must get game time and I don’t mean 10-15 mins as a sub very now and again.

I don't think we will sign another winger so I do see him and Morgan playing quite a bit.

If he does make the grade it will save celtic a good few million. The VVD cash would cover Eddy's arrival and the SA cash would cover Rogics deal. So theirs plenty available to bring in 2 or 3 quality players.

There is no point having the 'Tommy Burns Academy' at Lennoxtown if we don't encourage and develop the undoubted talent we have scouted.
Buying quality can be a boost - as we have seen this season with the arrival of Edouarde, but there's nothing better than watching 'one of our own' make the grade and wear the hoops they adore - like us.
I am old enough to remember the 'Quality Street Kids' and there is a real positivity around the club right now with the 'kids' we have brought through like KT and CM etc; and I am sure we have the perfect management team to nurture them correctly and give them their opportunity when it's the right time.

I’m desperately hoping to see Johnston and Morgan unleashed on Alashkert tomorrow night.

My ideal scenario would be a team full of Scottish title winners.

There's no reason why Mikey Johnston can't make the grade same as Jamesie KT and Calmac. There will be certain games this season at Celtic park against lesser teams in the league like Livi, St Mirren, Dundee and TRIFC where he can get plenty game time and build up his confidence. This lad has huge potential IMO and would rather see him get games with us rather than going on loan.

M Johnstone will probable be a star at Celtic . His best route is to impress in training get his chance and impress on the pitch. When he does that, he will get plenty of opportunities and plenty of game time .
If he went out on loan to Hibs and St Mirren he may get plenty of play on pitch or manager may decide he wants to use from his own player pool . Even if Mickey gets plenty of play time with Hibs ( for example ) it doesn't prove he can do it at Celtic

Remember Henderson was a hero at Hibs, and couldn't make it with us.

Great to see, you can't get enough Tims in the team for me, hopefully soon we will have 11 supporters in the team.

KT got his break and proved he was more than a bit part player so why can't young Johnstone not do the same? Keep the bhoy at CP and give him a chance. We must give our academy bhoys a chance rather than develop other teams talents.
