BRENDAN RODGERS done the right thing yesterday by insisting Mikey Johnston’s immediate future lies with Celtic after a week of transfer speculation.
The youngster has impressed so much in pre-season he has been linked with several clubs who would love to take the player on-loan for the season.
While Rodgers admitted he’s looking to give Mikey a chance he did explain that there are options already on the table should he have a change of heart before the transfer deadline.
Speaking about the 19-year-old the Irishman was very positive but admitted there are ‘options’ to send him out on loan.
“He is learning the other side of the game in terms of the tactical idea of pressing and how to work and how to recover but there is no doubt he is a special talent.
“So, at this moment in time, he is very much in my plans.
“We need to develop him, get him some games and if that changes there is a number of options with teams that would like to take him, but at this moment he stays.”
