The inside track on the football stories that matter
Celtic are set to cash in on both Mikey Johnston and Gustaf Lagerbielke before the transfer window closes on 30 August., former Celtic striker Frank McAvennie insisted that neither player has a part to play in Brendan Rodgers’ squad and will be pushed out of the door at Parkhead before the end of the window.
He went on to explain that there are a number of players at the club who should be looking to move on as they are on the fringes of the first-team squad. Johnston was the focus on McAvennie’s claims, as he insisted the winger has to move on for the good of his career after spending seven years at Parkhead.
However, it appears the club will be looking to move on multiple players before 31st August to clear space in their squad.Johnston spent the second half of last season at West Brom where he scored seven goals and provided two assists in 20 appearances.However, the club have not moved to sign him permanently this summer, and he remained an unused substitute in their opening-day clash with Kilmarnock.
McAvennie has now insisted he will need to look for a move away from Celtic after falling down the pecking order, with multiple exits expected from Parkhead.There are a couple of players I expect to leave. Mikey Johnstone needs to go on loan or be sold because he’s not getting near the first team.The more the team has bulked up, he’s been pushed down the pecking order, so I think for his own peace of mind he needs to go.
