Mikey Johnston came off the bench to score a brace as Celtic defeated Dundee 3-0 on Boxing Day.

His contribution in the second half not only secured the win for Celtic but also served as a strong response to his critics.

Johnston has faced scrutiny not just from fans and pundits but also from his manager, who has openly expressed dissatisfaction with his performances in the press. In such a context, scoring two goals in a crucial game can be immensely beneficial for Johnston’s confidence and standing within the team.

The reaction on Instagram to Johnston’s success from within the Celtic community highlights the support he enjoys from his peers. Notably, former Celtic player Shane Duffy’s comment, “love it you,” on Johnston’s post reflects camaraderie and encouragement from a fellow Irish player.

Karamoko Dembele looked to take a dig at MJ’s critics, commenting with the ‘shh’ emoji.

Luis Palma, who Johnston replaced, was also buzzing with the winger’s goals, posting him on his own story after the match.
