# Celtic: Fans loved Mikey Johnston’s cameo vs Ross County

**Plenty of Celtic fans have been running the rule over their 4-1 victory at Ross County, heaping praise on substitute Mikey Johnston.**

The Hoops continued their remarkable winning run with a relatively comfortable win on Sunday afternoon, as a first-half brace from the ever-reliable Ryan Christie kicked things off.

Ross Stewart’s header between Christie’s two strikes turned out to be little more than a consolation, as Tom Rogic wrapped up the three points with his second-half effort.

Johnston then made it 4-1 within moments of coming on, prancing through the hosts’ defence and finishing smartly.

That is now two goals in his last two substitute appearance for the 20 year-old starlet, having found the back of the net in Thursday’s win against Rennes.

Johnston has five goals and four assists in [12 total appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mikey-johnston/leistungsdaten/spieler/297257) this campaign, and fans have been heaping praise on the youngster on Twitter.

> Surely needs to start next Sunday, let Forrest play on right and Christie thru middle. No need to fit in Rogic or Ntcham…sick if saying this.
