West Brom and Celtic supporters all saying the same thing about Mikey Johnston's transfer fate

West Bromwich Albion and Celtic supporters are in agreement that Mikey Johnston's loan to The Hawthorns has been the best possible move for the winger.

Signed in January on a temporary basis after a strugglesome start to the season in Scotland, Johnston has been a revelation for West Brom, helping Carlos Corberan's side charge on towards securing a Sky Bet Championship play-off spot. The Republic of Ireland international has scored half a dozen goals in just nine matches, including a brace against Huddersfield Town on Sunday.

It's been a major improvement from Johnston, who appears to have had the shackles thrown off. West Brom fans are trying not to get too attached as the loan deal didn't include a buy option, whereas Celtic fans are licking their lips at a potential lucrative summer sale. A potential compromise could be reached to get the best outcome for all parties but there's still a long way until the window opens.

In the meantime, Albion and Celtic fans have been united in enjoying the 24-year-old's success in the English second tier. One West Brom supporter took to X - formerly Twitter - to say: "Mikey Johnston's desire here is completely unrivalled. How on earth has he got himself into a goalscoring position?"

Another then penned: "I'm really trying not to fall in love with Mikey Johnston, because if we don't sign him in the summer I'm going to be gutted," before a Celtic fan wrote: "He's been a joke for WBA. Nine appearances, 11 shots, six goals, one assist. Wow." That wasn't all, as another of the Celtic Park faithful said: "The bhoy is adding value to himself every game."

Other comments included a West Brom fan expressing: "I just watched the highlights and I don't think it's settled in with me yet just how good Mikey Johnston is," and a Celtic supporter writing: "Johnston averaging a goal every 85 minutes in the Championship since arriving. Absolutely delighted for him, hopefully we pull in a decent fee in the summer after this form."

All the appreciation for Johnston is certainly warranted as the player has been a terrific signing for West Brom thus far. Corberan and all those associated with the Baggies will be hoping the goalscoring form continues as Albion look to secure a Championship top-six spot.
