Celtic injury blow as Mikey Johnston limps out of Raith Rovers cup clash
CELTIC winger Mikey Johnston had to be brought off in the 54th minute of Celtic’s Scottish Cup clash with Raith Rovers at Parkhead.
The home side were leading 1-0 thanks to Liam Scales’ excellent first-half finish before Johnston picked up his injury.
The winger seized up and could be seen feeling his hamstring as he realised his match was over.
As he made his way off the park, Johnston looked upset and headed straight for the tunnel.
The 22-year-old has previously spent a long time on the sidelines after suffering a ligament injury earlier in his career and he also tore his hamstring in pre-season.
Johnston has made 19 first-team appearances for Ange Postecoglou’s side this term and is contracted to the club until 2025.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
