For this Celtic team, Mikey Johnston has acknowledged that he needs to perform more efficiently and reliably. On Boxing Day, the Irishman made a late impact and scored a couple of goals against Tony Docherty’s Dundee team after coming off the bench. The winger, who has been in and out of the team recently, gave the fans something to cheer about when he scored two goals.
“I had an injury at the beginning of the season, so those first few games were like preseason.” I’ve just played well in some games and it hasn’t happened in others. I need to work on that last action to boost my stats for the team because I haven’t scored or assisted yet. My goals are to score more goals and provide assists; the more I can do to support the team, the better.
After all the sacrifices they had to make to spend Christmas Day apart from their families and work hard for three points in unimpressive circumstances, Johnston also took the time to commend his teammates.“I’m delighted because the boys have all left their families for Christmas,” he continued, “and it’s even better that we scored a couple of goals and got the win.” We had the lead and were pulling away from the game, but you never know when a team can sneak a goal in. We need to win all of our games in December, so this is a huge three points going forward, but we won’t take anything for granted.
