Celtic’s injury jinx has now struck Mikey Johnston.
Last night the teenager joined Patrick Roberts and Jonny Hayes on the sidelines as he posted news on his twitter account of a muscle injury.
Roberts has been out of action since the start of December with a serious hamstring strain and is expected to be back sometime next month.
Gutted to be out for a while, terrible timing but I’ll come back stronger???????? pic.twitter.com/aelXcwRzlG

Hayes had stepped in to deputise for the on loan Manchester City kid but suffered a broken leg in the win over Dundee on St Stephen’s Day.
Johnston made a substitute appearance at home to Brechin City in the Scottish Cup and was on the bench for the win away to Partick Thistle.
When he failed to make the bench against Hibs there was some concern with his twitter post suggesting that he is likely to be out for a couple of weeks.
Tom Rogic, Stuart Armstrong and Marvin Compper are all expected to be available within the next fortnight.
