Latest news: After Dundee’s two goals from player, Brendan Rodgers makes a statement about the future role that Mikey Johnston will play for Celtic
At Dens Park, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers was thrilled with the performance of winger Mikey Johnston, who scored twice to help Celtic to a 3-0 victory over Dundee. Johnston’s performance earned him praise from Rodgers.
Johnston entered the game with the intention of taking advantage of the fatigue that was present in the legs of the Dundee defense. He needed to create space to punish them with direct dribbling and combinations in the final third of the field.
However, his second goal was a strong finish, and the Ireland international went on to try to complete a hat trick. His first goal may be regarded the result of Trevor Carson’s mistake in goalkeeping, but his second goal was a solid finish.
It was his first goals for the Bhoys since the year 2019, and they came after he had been a starter for four games throughout the month of December.
In spite of the fact that he made a contribution on Boxing Day, it appears that starting from this point forward, he will be utilized as an impact substitute rather than being considered by the manager as a starting option.
Mikey Johnston’s Celtic role is being played by Brendan Rodgers.
“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 Celtic manager stated in an interview with The Scotsman that was published in December. It has the potential to boost his self-assurance.
A wonderful thing about Mikey is that he has maintained his fitness. We are continuing to work with him, and we believe that he has the potential to come into the game and make an impact. However, it is up to him to decide whether or not he will be a Celtic player. Both of the goals that he scored were a source of great satisfaction for us.
There is still no indication as to whether Johnston is interested in playing a role of that nature for the Bhoys. Until the summer of 2026, he is under contract with the team that is now the champions.
Recent interviews, on the other hand, have revealed that he has expressed a desire to be playing on a regular basis at this point in his career. Because the transfer window for the month of January is about to open, there is always the possibility that he will leave the club.
At Celtic Park, it is quite unlikely that he will ever be considered a star among the starting options. Despite the fact that he fulfills a few requirements for an impact substitute, he would have to be content with the fact that this is his position at the Bhoys.
Breaking News: After the Celtics were concerned about a significant injury, Celtic head coach Brendan Rodgers provided an update on Cameron Carter-Vickers
After limping out of Celtic’s 3-0 victory over Dundee this afternoon, Cameron Carter-Vickers has become a major injury concern in advance of the critical derby that will take place this coming weekend.
Paulo Bernardo and Mikey Johnston scored goals for the Bhoys, which allowed them to win the match at Dens Park with relative ease. However, it was disappointing to see Carter-Vickers score a goal in the second half of the match.
Due to the fact that Celtic’s other defensive choices are believed to be a step below what he delivers, the United States international player has been dealing with a number of injuries since the end of the previous season. This situation is not ideal.
In response to the Cameron Carter-Vickers dispute, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers
When Brendan Rodgers was asked if he would be able to play in the forthcoming games, he responded to the question on BBC Radio Scotland by saying, “Hopefully. It won’t be until the following few of days that we find out. He was just aware of a constriction.
“He wanted to continue playing, but the experience with Cameron now is as courageous as he is, and as much as he wants to get through the game, we just have to take him off as a precaution,” the coach said.
It was confirmed by him on Sky Sports that his hamstring “hasn’t gone,” which means it hasn’t been ripped.
There is a good chance that we will see him in action in a short amount of time. On the other hand, it appears that this is a circumstance that must be managed throughout the course of time. The fact that he is having trouble playing from the weekend to the middle of the week is something that has to be investigated.
The very last thing that Celtic need is for him to suffer a tear in his hamstring and then be out for protracted periods of time. Even if it means missing the Rangers game that is scheduled to take place this weekend.
Fortunately, it does not appear that this has taken place this afternoon, and the Bhoys will most likely be waiting for the findings of the scan to determine whether or not he is healthy enough to play in the games that are scheduled to take place before the winter break.
