Mikey Johnston has been told he needs to control his "frustration" and play "consistently well" if he's going to be turn his Celtic cameo into long-term success.

That's the verdict of Celtic legend Neil Lennon, who famously appeared to tell the winger to 'f*** off' after suffering an injury at McDiarmid Park in 2020, but it was at the same venue Johnston enjoyed a galvanising return to form on Sunday.

The 24-year-old has been handed extra minutes recently as a result of injuries to Liel Abada and Daizen Maeda, and the Irish international showed his quality off the bench against St Johnstone last time out.

Asked about Johnston's re-emergence into Celtic first team plans following his loan spell at Vitoria de Guimaraes, Lennon, who managed Johnston during his second spell as Hoops boss, told PLZ Soccer: “He gets very frustrated very quickly if things aren’t going for him.
