Denny Johnstone has scored two goals in six games for the Scotland Under-19 side.

Macclesfield Town have signed teenage Birmingham City striker Denny Johnstone on a one-month youth loan.

Johnstone, 19, who joined Blues from Celtic this summer on a three-year deal, is scheduled to stay at the Moss Rose until 24 December.

The Scotland Under-19 international's only two Blues appearances both came as a late substitute in August.
