Stephen Kenny has backed new recruit Mikey Johnston to play a big role in Ireland’s Euro 2024 qualification campaign.
The Celtic winger is currently on-loan at Portuguese side Vitoria, and is still waiting on FIFA to clear the paperwork on his switch from Scotland, where he played up to Under-21 level.
If the international transfer is approved in time, he could receive his first call for this month’s friendly against Latvia on March 22 and the visit of France five days later.
