Mikey Johnston handed Celtic 'another status' verdict as 'valuable' star's door to Angeball not shut

Celtic have been told Mikey Johnston will return to Parkhead at the end of the season 'with another status' as Vitoria Guimaraes boss Moreno Teixeira lauded praise on the on-loan winger.

Johnston has spent the season at the Portuguese outfit and has contributed three goals and as many assists from 22 appearances, having put his Celtic injury hell behind him. Tiexeira is convinced Johnston is now making huge strides in his development and believes the 23-year-old still has a future in the Scottish Premiership under Ange Postecoglou after grasping his Vitoria opportunity.
