It was a routine win in many ways for Celtic but there was nothing routine about Mikey Johnston’s first competitive Celtic goal!
The young midfielder made an early appearance from the bench after Odsonne Edouard went down with an injury in the first half, and bhoy did he make it count!
Wasting no time the player looked hungry and full of ability as he looked for his opening.
The goal didn’t even look on at all but he’s managed to get the power and height on the ball to send it past the Motherwell goalkeeper to make it 3-0 on the night and wrap up all 3 points for the Champions.
Watch all the goals below.
The wee man was quick to celebrate on social media, congratulating his captain and thrilled to get on the scoresheet as well.

Celtic went back to the top of the league on Wednesday by brushing past Motherwell with Neil Lennon’s Hibernian holding The Rangers to a draw in Edinburgh.
