The Celtic winger has been linked with moves to several other clubs this week.
Mikey Johnston has revealed he will wear the number 19 shirt for Celtic next season.
Johnston wore 73 throughout his breakthrough campaign at Celtic Par, in which he scored or made six goals in 23 games.
And that could well be a good sign for the winger, who was this week linked with moves to Motherwell and Panathinaikos.
According to The Scottish Sun, other clubs Scotland and in England are tracking the Johnston, who it claimed could be farmed out by the new Celtic manager, Neil Lennon.
But it may be fair to assume that Lennon instead intends to hold on to the Bhoys academy product – and perhaps even feature him more prominently in 2019/20.
That being said, Celtic still have James Forrest, Scott Sinclair, Jonny Hayes, Daniel Arzani, Karamoko Dembele and Lewis Morgan capable of playing in Johnston’s position – not to mention the incoming Maryan Shved – despite having shed Timothy Weah and Oliver Burke from their list of options since the end of last season.
And if Johnston does get his chance, he’ll have had to earn it.
