Panathinakos have been linked with a loan move for Mikey Johnston.

The young winger scored five first team goals last season as well as starting in the final of the Scottish Cup win over Aberdeen.

With Maryan Shved, Daniel Arzani and Lewis Morgan all competing for places on the wing it’s an area of the park that Neil Lennon isn’t short of options.

No movement is likely until Celtic have completed their Champions League qualifiers with The Sun reporting:

PANATHINAIKOS are weighing up a loan bid for Celtic kid Mikey Johnston.

The Greek giants watched the 20-year-old winger during last month’s Scottish Cup final.

Johnston signed a new long term contract last season but at the age of 20 will be looking to ensure that he gets as much top team football under his best.

The bhoy from Stepps has turned down loan options in the past to stay at Celtic which is certain to be his preferred option.

However the examples of how loan spells kicked on the prospects of Kris Ajer and Ryan Christie is bound to give him something to consider over the coming weeks.
