Maybe the manager is the main variable in all this?

remember though during Johnston's stint at Celtic he had three managers. Lennon, Postecoglou, Rodgers. None of them fancied him. His loan in Portugal was also a mixed bag. I think my other post was pretty clear? Johnston didn't do it at Celtic, he got ample opportunities.

Except he demonstrably didn't get ample opportunities. The most football Johnston ever played for Celtic in the SPL was the 2018/19 season where he played 520 minutes of football (just under 6 full games). He managed 3 goals in that time, it still wasn't enough to earn him more of an opportunity...

At what point do you stop giving a player game time when he's being ineffective in games? As I said three managers have watched him and thought nah. He's hit some form for Westbrom and it's great, long may it continue.

He has a lot more freedom playing for WBA. At Celtic, the opposition would have 10 behind the ball at all times and he would have very little space. |

He's played his way into our starting XI based on form.

25 G/A in the equivalent of 42 games is ineffective?

92 appearances, he's played the equivalent of 42 full games. Even if it were 92 games, 25 G/A in 92 would hardly be egregious anyway.

Agreed. He never had enough to justify him being a regular starter prior to him going to Portugal (despite what that other f**king eejit says). His final-product was lacking and there were better players ahead of him in that era. However, I think Rodgers was wrong to let him go on loan this time because he was playing pretty well and was definitively an asset. Hasty by the manager, IMHO, we could have done with Mikey recently. Happy to see him doing well though.

Won Championship PotM. I want to be happy for him but he's won that by playing well for that lot so it's difficult for me.

Committing to Ireland was a great career move for him. He got the West Brom loan off the back of some outstanding international performances and he’s probably got a bright future now away from Celtic. Fair play to Kenny for persuading him into the Ireland fold, he has a skill set we’ve been missing since McGeady’s time.
