Celtic ace Mikey Johnston joins Vitoria Guimarase on season-long loan

Celtic ace Mikey Johnston joins European outfit on season-long loan

MIKEY JOHNSTON has sealed an exit from Celtic. 

The winger has joined Vitoria Guimaraes on loan until the end of the season. 

The 23-year-old travelled out to Portugal yesterday to finalise the switch.

Johnston has also signed a one-year Celtic contract extension, showing the club are keen to see his progress.

The youngster burst on the scene several years ago, making a flying start to his Celtic career. 

He's endured a difficult time with injury though and has since really struggled for game time. 

Ange Postecoglou was desperate to see him get a loan move to aid in his development. 

And Portuguese side Vitoria Guimaraes have won the battle to sign Johnston for the 22/23 campaign.
