Some Celtic fans have flocked to a tweet following their Scottish League Cup victory on Thursday regarding the latest in Michael Johnston’s injury status.

According to reporter Alison Conroy, Michael Johnston will be sidelined again after sustaining an injury during one of Ange Postecoglou’s training sessions.

Do Celtic need to sell Johnston?

Yes

Yes

No

No

The 22-year-old has suffered numerous injuries during his time with the Bhoys, with his ligament injury keeping him out of action for almost one whole year in 2020 (via Transfermarkt).

Johnston has now made 60 appearances for the first team, in which he has found the back of the net on 11 occasions, however, he has also missed a total of 56 games through injury in his young career.

Celtic fans flooded to the tweet from Conroy as she relayed Postecoglou’s injury update, which saw these fans slam the youngster, who was confirmed to have picked up another setback.

What did these Celtic fans have to say?

“Mikey Johnston. Let him go. Made of glass”
“Mikey Johnston following in James Forrest’s footsteps of being injured constantly”
“Mikey Johnston is finished.”
“It’s about time Mikey Johnston was shown the door. It’s ridiculous how injury-prone he is.”
“Mikey Johnstone would be better off retiring”
“Johnston needs to be let go to free up wages, he’s clearly not built to play for Celtic, never known a player to be so injury-prone.”
“Mikey Johnston will never make it at Celtic. Needs to be let go now. He just can’t get fit plus he was already far too lightweight already”
“Johnston must go, stealing a wage”

Ange Postecoglou’s side strolled into the final four of the Scottish League Cup on Thursday night with a straightforward 3-0 victory against Scottish Championship side, Raith Rovers.

Although the Bhoys made light work of Thursday’s opposition, it seems the mood among these Celtic fans has certainly been dampened by the latest in Johnston’s injury issues.
