Celtic loanee Mikey Johnston has been named the English Championship’s Player of the Month for March.
The winger has been on electric form since moving to the Midlands, and his efforts have paid off.
Last month, he scored four goals and registered one assist across five league appearances with his exploits being rightly recognised.
Few would have anticipated Johnston’s prosperity since joining the Baggies, particularly after his inconsistency at Celtic in the first half of the season.
Brendan Rodgers gave the 24-year-old several opportunities at a key time in the campaign but he never got going. All he has to shout about from his 12 Celtic appearances this season is a Boxing Day brace off the bench at Dens Park.
Johnston frustrated many in green and white in 2023/24 but has now quite literally reaped the rewards of a move to The Hawthorns.
In 14 games for West Brom so far, the attacker has scored seven goals and assisted another. With four Championship fixtures to go, his team comfortably occupy a play-off spot.
Helping fire the Baggies back to the dizzy heights of the Premier League would satisfy Johnston and ensure Celtic will get a pretty penny for his services if and when he departs permanently this summer.
