Celtic supporters have been tearing former West Brom loanee Mikey Johnston apart despite his goalscoring display in the USA on Sunday.

The 25-year-old featured and scored for the Hoops as they thrashed D.C United 4-0 in a pre-season friendly on Sunday 21 July.

Johnston got on the scoresheet in the 64th minute. However, he also missed a chance to add to his tally when his penalty was saved late on in the match.

During his time at The Hawthorns Johnston became something of a fan favourite among the Baggies' fanbase. However, it is clear to see that the same sentiment is not shared among Celtic supporters.

Despite getting on the scoresheet, the fans at Celtic Park made their feelings toward the forward very clear.

Celtic supporters rip into ex-West Brom loanee Mikey Johnston

It was difficult to find many positive comments about Johnston even after he got himself on the scoresheet for the Hoops.

Many supporters made it known that they have no faith in him succeeding at the club, and would much rather see him moved on.

One supporter even suggested he would be "willing to pay West Brom" to re-sign the Ireland international.

Aww jokes aside, there’s actually some in our fan base who think a near 26 year old mikey Johnston still has a chance 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

Anyone that thinks Mikey Johnston will make it at Celtic, obviously hasn't watched him for the last 4 seasons.
He's a one trick pony, plats well in preseason and then disappears.

Please never let Mikey Johnston pull on the hoops ever again. He is rotten

When your second choice striker is now Mikey Johnston a fortnight out from the league kicking off, I think it's safe to say the transfer window hasn't been stellar...

Someone want to teach Mikey Johnston how to pass a football? Cheers 👍🏻
