OFFICIAL: Celtic winger receives international clearance, declares for Republic of Ireland
Celtic winger Mikey Johnston has declared to play for the Republic of Ireland having received his FIFA international clearance.
Johnston, on loan at Portuguese Primeira Liga side Vitória Guimarães this season, has completed the eligibility process and is now available for selection for the Republic of Ireland ahead of the March international fixtures against Latvia and France.
Glasgow-born, Johnston qualifies for the Republic of Ireland through his grandfather who was from Derry and started the eligibility process months ago after making Ireland manager Stephen Kenny aware of his desire to play for the Republic of Ireland.
The 23-year old made his first-team debut in 2017 and has since gone on to win the Scottish Premiership three times with the Glasgow club, as well as two Scottish Cups and two Scottish League Cups.
The Football Association of Ireland is delighted to confirm Mikey Johnston has received FIFA international clearance
