Not really excited about this one. Nothing against the lad but he's a winger called up in a team that can only play tactics not including wingers.

Provides another option, then. He has pace and trickery, a good addition I think and if he can steer clear of the injuries that have held him back, he could be a very significant asset.

I'd say he'll get about half a dozen caps and then never be seen again to be honest.

I doubt it seeing as he’s streets ahead of numerous lads who, in the last 10 years or so, have received more caps than that.

Question marks from some over the level he's playing at but, for what it's worth, Sporting - one place ahead of Victoria in the Primeira Liga - have just knocked the PL leaders, Arsenal, out of Europe.

He was clearly very brave in his decision to try and further his career in Portugal it would of been much easier to stick to the norm, head down south and battle it out in the Championship. 
We haven't had a winger with any real sort of skill since McGeady so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Sporting are also 10 points ahead of them with a 26 goal better goal difference. It's a bit like comparing Hearts to the Rangers because they're only one place behind them in the table, but they're miles behind them in reality.

And he's not even a regular starter for them.

This, they are a team that were knocked out of the UEFA Conference League at the qualification stage - 5th or 6th best team in portugal, but just beaten at home by Arouca 2-0. Johnston has started just 8 of their 24 league games.

Broke into the Celtic team quite young, showed a lot of promise and got a lot of game time, pacey and direct but finishing let's him down. Down the pecking order at Celtic after his injury, so shipped off to Portugal. Not playing much over there so not sure he merits inclusion in the squad.

Agree with all of that but I think that from Kenny’s point of view it’s probably a no-brainer to call him up as he’s more technical than most of our players; he offers a wide option, should we require it; and he’s young enough for his end-product to improve. That doesn’t guarantee he’ll do the business for us, but no harm having him in the squad anyway.

I was surprised by Brady being left out of the squad as I felt he probably deserved to be in it but I don't mind the odd left-field decision by Kenny to include a player like Johnston in who arguably may have less merit to be included

Then again I've a soft spot for dribblers like McGeady so might be a bit biased in this regard if Johnston is similar. I'd nearly always have them in even if they're out of form. They can always get you frees or used as a late subs against tired defences. 


Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

agree, always a good option off the bench when chasing games. Do the unexpected, make things happen even if not everything works out.
