In a fascinating twist of fate, former Celtic teammates and good friends Mikey Johnston and David Turnbull are set to clash on the pitch tonight in a keenly anticipated English Championship encounter between West Brom and Cardiff, with both men slated to start.
The 8pm kickoff marks a unique moment as it pits the pair against each other for the first time since wearing the green and white.
David Turnbull’s departure from Celtic was sealed at the tail end of the January window, with Cardiff City securing his services for a modest fee, ending his stint at Celtic Park.
Many feel David had untapped potential but for his positives there was a feeling he just didn’t fit into a Celtic midfield. Both Ange Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgers haven’t seen it in the midfielder.
Meanwhile, Mikey Johnston remains a Celtic player, albeit temporarily plying his trade at West Brom on loan. The expectation is Mikey will move on permanently on the summer
Tuesday’s match-up will be interesting for the pair who are trying to make their mark at their new clubs. Who will come out on top?
