Kenny Miller thinks that Mikey Johnston, who has been on loan from Celtic, will get “plenty” of interest given his impressive run with West Brom.
Mikey Johnston impresses with West Brom
The Scottish champions loaned Johnston to The Hawthorns late in the winter window; the winger had not been able to make a name for himself at Parkhead.
Johnston has benefited greatly from the move thus far, as he has six goals in 12 appearances for the Baggies to help them tighten their hold on the play-offs.

Mikey Johnston transfer latest
Fans of Liverpool are already debating whether they can sign Johnston long-term due to his performance, but they will need to bargain with Celtic over a price as this was not a clause in the original contract.
The fact that Johnston has a contract that runs until the summer of 2026 puts the Hoops in a strong position, and they will be hoping that his excellent performance keeps pushing up the price.
Kenny Miller has his say on Mikey Johnston’s future
Of course, it can’t be ruled out that Johnston returns to Celtic to play a part moving forward. However, he wasn’t a regular under Brendan Rodgers this season, despite a lack of options out wide.
So, with Celtic expected to bring in at least one new wide man this summer, an exit does feel more likely.

It seems that Sam Johnstone’s performances have garnered attention and praise, with suggestions that he has proven himself capable at a high level with a top team. Given his age and desire for regular playing time, it’s implied that if West Bromwich Albion doesn’t secure his services permanently in the summer, other clubs will be interested in signing him.
As for the immediate future, Johnstone is expected to continue featuring for Carlos Corberan’s side as they prepare to face Stoke City on Saturday. Despite West Brom’s current position in the playoff battle, there’s acknowledgment of Coventry City’s proximity in the standings, with the Sky Blues posing a threat with a game in hand.
