Celtic could consider promoting a young talent against St Mirren.
Celtic travel to St Mirren on Friday night for a league fixture, as club football returns after a two-week international break.
Manager Brendan Rodgers is now preparing his squad for an extremely busy fixture list and his team still have five games remaining in September.
The Bhoys are going to need the full depth of the squad to cope and may already have one eye on a Europa League group stage clash with Rosenborg on Thursday.
Celtic have a number of talented young players coming through the ranks, so could Rodgers throw a curveball by starting one in the clash against St Mirren?
Michael Johnston, 19, is an upcoming talent that has already had a taste of first-team football this season by making six appearances across all competitions.
The left-winger is a bag of tricks that is extremely highly-rated and has just returned from international duty with Scotland’s Under-21s side.
He is still waiting to start his first league match this campaign and remains more on the fringes, but is clearly in the thinking of Rodgers and provides great width.
It would be a complete curveball for Johnston to appear in the starting XI against St Mirren, but should Celtic take the gamble given his potential and the fact they have a number of games coming up in such a short space of time?
