SUTTY: MIKEY’S EURO BREAKTHROUGH -

MIKEY JOHNSTON’S super goal for Celtic in Sarajevo was a huge moment in the Champions League tie and for his manager.

But it was also massive for the player.

The sweet strike eased any creeping feeling of tension out in Bosnia and could be the making of Johnston.

A lot is expected of the lad and this is going to be an extremely important season.

Let’s be honest, he was shafted in the two Old Firm games at Ibrox last season. Johnston was unfairly chucked

The Frenchman had some cheek saying Scottish football wasn’t a big enough challenge.

If anything he found it too tough last season. He’s angling for a move but he’s going the wrong way about it – you don’t talk your way into a big club. You earn it on the pitch.

Ntcham will rely on his agent being silver tongued because anyone watching last year would not have seen a £15m player.

He had a decent game against Rangers early on but was shocking against St Mirren after that and never recovered.

Lennon will be fuming at his comments and will have pulled him in for a chat.

It’s up to Ntcham to respond just like Johnston did. Get the head down and play yourself towards the move you want.

But the real concern for the Hoops boss is at right-back – it’s almost getting ridiculous.

Celtic will probably get away with it in the first couple of rounds in Europe but they can’t allow it to jeopardise their hopes down the line.

Recruitment chief Nicky Hammond is now in the door and needs to deliver urgently.
