Brendan Rodgers Says It’s Over to Mikey Johnston to be a Celtic Player after Brace

ease. Paulo Bernardo opened the score with a goal to set the tone for the game, and

Mikey Johnston came off the bench to score twice more to give the Hoops the victory.

Celtic’s manager Brendan Rodgers expressed particular satisfaction with Mikey Johnston’s contribution. Rodgers acknowledged the

challenges Johnston faced in recent weeks and months. He highlighted the physical and mental demands of consistent play,

including the high expectations and intensity required at the club.

However, Rodgers praised Johnston’s ability to influence the game as a substitute, noting his capacity to

bring energy and impact off the bench.

“The challenge for Mikey was the fact that he had played a lot of games back to back and he hasn’t done that much for Celtic. The

intensity, demand and expectation can become difficult, but he can certainly come off the bench and make an impact.

It can give him confidence.

“What’s great about Mikey is that he’s maintained his physical fitness. Although we believe he can contribute to the team and make an

impact, it is up to him if he wants to play for the Celtics. He scoring the two goals made us happy.

Johnston should benefit much from it as it serves as a great confidence booster.

It’s unlikely that he will ever be of Celtic standard, though.

You’d imagine he is a player who could possibly make an exit in January, with Celtic looking to trim the squad.
