Johnston's journey with Celtic began as a trainee in July 2008. Over his many seasons with the club, he made various contributions in league matches. His debut season (2016-2017) began with a single appearance.

June 2024 saw another return to Celtic, but it wasn't long before his permanent transfer to West Bromwich Albion in August the same year. Despite his potential, his current season (2024-2025) has seen no first team appearances as of yet.
