Mikey Johnston is weighing up a number of options to leave Celtic on loan, according to reports.
The 23-year-old has slipped further down the attacking pecking order at Celtic Park and Football Scotland say Ange Postecoglou has told him he’s free to play his football elsewhere this season.
Celtic already have Jota, Daizen Maeda, James Forrest, and Liel Abada as options on either flank, and have been linked with a move for in-demand Barcelona winger Alex Collado in recent days
A potential reunion with former Hoops boss Ronny Deila is on the cards at Standard Liege, but is believed to have a number of different options.
Johnston made his Celtic debut under Brendan Rodgers in 2017 but has failed to kick on after an injury-ravaged few seasons.
Lee Johnson’s Hibs side were reportedly keen on bringing the winger to Easter Road but that option is now out of the equation following the return of Martin Boyle.
It's yet to be seen where Johnston's temporary future lies, but with the transfer market nearing a close, this a move that will likely gather pace over the next few weeks.
