    I feel like Johnston didn’t want to come off again as he’s aware that a lot of fans are talking about him getting too many knocks/niggles.

    Must have thought he could get through the final 10 minutes and not have to go through the process of going off with another injury in front of the fans.

    Turns out it was a poor decision..

    Hopefully we can get him sorted like we have done with James Forrest - who was very injury prone early on in his Celtic career - because he’s clearly a talent.

    I think he has got a lot of talent, but his decision making needs to sharpen up a lot.

    Someone had posted that he has a goal or assist every 127minutes which if true is very decent for a player his age.

    i think from his reaction he felt a ligament in his knee pop, which unfortunately will mean another prolonged spell on the side lines. And he realised that he is only just fit again and that he made a daft tackle.

    I think we need to now bring in another winger before the deadline.

    Because he took a knock just before we made our last sub but said he was fine to play on. Then went off injured shortly after which left us with 10 men.

    State of everyone slating the boy wanting to continue, clearly he thought he could last the last few minutes, fair enough he could maybe have said I have to go off but then everyone would be raging at him for being a wimp and not carrying on

    Needs to bulk himself up it might prevent him getting so many injuries, we've got enough * sick notes as it is.

    Lennon says it's longterm.

    I reckon his season is over

    No I think that it would have been better for him to say he would be better going off. Experienced players have to make these decisions for the good of the team. I like the wee fella and I think he has great potential but I feel he has been rushed into the first team. As some say he needs to bulk up a bit as he's a wee bit lightweight. If Lenny says it's long term he's either suffered a bigger injury than it looked or Lenny has decided that he wants him to work on his physique or is flexing his managerial muscles or something. Whatever it seems a bit harsh that this has happened but it will be character building for the wee fella.

    Why did he try to play on 10 minutes left 3-0 up, the game was won.

    Tbh I was more annoyed about him doing more damage to his injury than going down 10 men

    Really have to question the quality of our physios if they can't tell when an injury is that serious.

    I don't think the physio examined him until he went down for the second time and then went off.

    Again that's down to personal responsibility. An experienced player would also consider that.
