Michael Johnston signs new three-year deal directly following his first start for the Hoops.
CELTIC ‘S highly-rated youngster Michael Johnston signed a new three-year deal with the club on Saturday.
The 18-year-old put pen to paper in Paradise a matter of minutes after making his competitive debut for the Hoops in the 4-1 victory over St Johnstone to complete an unforgettable day for the winger.
Part of the Celtic Youth Academy since the age of nine, Johnston has enjoyed an impressive season for the Development Side and he played a starring role in their recent 3-0 Youth Cup victory over Rangers at Hampden.
It was these types of performances which prompted Brendan Rodgers to hand Johnston his Celtic bow on Saturday against the Perth side.
And the manager was thrilled at how Johnston and fellow teenager, Anthony Ralston, acquitted themselves in another sparkling showing from the six-in-a-row champions.
Speaking after penning his new contract, Johnston said: “It’s been a really special day and I’m absolutely delighted. I have played for this club for about 10 years and I have supported them my full life, so to make my debut and then sign the contract and commit my future here is unbelievable.
