They look set to sign him permanently, according to the Independent anyway.

Vitoria with a good end to the season, while they're a good few points off the big boys in Portuguesse football they cant finish any higher than their current position.

Looking at the Portugese table, I'm not sure Vitoria have sealed Conference League football just yet, they can still finish 7th as far as I can see. They are currently in 5th, but the team behind them Arouca have a game in hand and will move above them with a win tonight. I would prefer to see him get his chance at Celtic and take it!

Extra place is handed down from the cup final since Braga and Porto already have Champions League.

Still need to seal 6th though, which they havent done yet, they will likely do so next weekend against an opponent with nothing to play for, but their last game is then away to Porto, so they could slip up yet.

They don't need 6th. The team in 7th Chaves failed to get a European licence from UEFA.

They're guaranteed conference league

I think it’s quite likely he’ll stay with Vitoria. Would be good for him also. A nice lifestyle over there too.

He's had a decent loan spell, but you would hope that if he's to be as good as we all hope, then Celtic will take him back and play him. They arent exactly well stocked with reliable fit wide players. I'd hope to see him in the first team set up at Celtic next season tbh.

Why? Playing against the cream of Ross County, Kilmarnock and Livingston? If selected, maybe four big games a season against the other Glasgow mob. Irish players are more challenged in the Championship. Some people can't accept that the vast majority of Irish supporters don't give a fat rat's arse about Celtic.

Yeah, I think having more players playing across Europe can only benefit us. Different cultures, tactics, etc.

Cullen really benefitted from his two years in Belgium.

Ebosele will hopefully establish himself at Udinese next season. Or at least get a good Serie A loan move.

Celtic are a much bigger club than Vitoria and will possibly have CL football, EL at a minimum. I'm not a big Celtic fan by any means, but I'm not sure why there seems to be such an attitude in here about lads that are. I'd prefer to see Johnston breaking into the first team at Celtic, I'm not sure why the lifestyle in Portugal is relevant, is Mikey a mate of yours? 

If he was at one of the big three clubs in Portugal, I could see the logic in him staying, but Vitoria didnt even make it through the qualifying stages of the Conference League this season and they are a full 21 points behind 4th spot in the Portugese League with a negative goal difference. Maybe that's Johnston's level, but they are likely no better than a Hearts/Hibs/Aberdeen. I would hope Johnston can develop to a better level than that.

Vitoria are a level above the likes of Hearts and Aberdeen, they're co-owned by the Arab/American billionaire owners of Aston Villa and are having a lot of money invested into them at present. (There are some rumours that something similar might be in the pipeline for Hibs with the City Group, but at this point in time Vitoria would be a level above them also).

They may be about to become a level above them, but they arent currently on the evidence of the season just gone. I wasnt aware of the large scale investment however and if the intention of the owners is to have them competing at the top end of the Portugese League then that moves the dial obviously. However there is a move across Europe whereby big clubs/owners are buying up these kind of clubs as feeder clubs rather than trying to develop them competitively. Celtic remain a very big club in, unfortunately for them, an uncompetitive League.
