Starting his first match since his Deadline Day loan move to West Brom it took Mikey Johnston just 32 seconds to open his scoring account.
Cardiff City, including David Turnbull, were visiting the Hawthorns when the home side got off to a flying start with the ball played down the right with Johnston waiting in the goalmouth to stick the ball away.
Johnston waited four years between goals at Celtic when he scored at Dundee on December 26 then promptly popped in a second seven minutes later in a 3-0 win.
That period did cover Lockdown, injuries and a season on loan at Vitoria Guimares, in amongst it the winger scored a penalty in the shoot out victory over Hearts in the 2020 Scottish Cup Final.

Johnston made substitute appearances against Birmingham and Ipswich, showing enough for Carlos Corberan to put him in from the start against Cardiff.
West Brom are currently in fifth place but are 15 points behind second placed Southampton who look out of reach for an automatic promotion place.
Mo E and McKenna in great form tonight in last 16 champions league, beat but did excellent against a machine of a team. Only noting as what could have been eh?? Pay millions upon millions on projects or players simply not good enough and let others who would be there fully formed go by under bidding or not at all.
We keep recruiting foreign players, managers and coaches and sooner or later they all get homesick and want to go home. And so we start again!
Dividends get paid and people get jobs.
But on the footballing side of things, we are amateurs!
Our teams go from bad to worse. Fans get disgruntled. And so we start again, again!
Outside, our biggest competitor is a club who sunk themselves by cheating eveyone, anyone and pretended that it never happened. And everyone bought into it!
Cen fath?
You will have to ask them all for yourself!
