Injuries to Tony Ralston and Alistair Johnston opened the door for McPherson to get promoted into the first team, turning out in the two matches in Japan as well as against Wolves in Dublin.
After being a regular in the Lowland League last season stepping up to play in the Championship is essential for McPherson’s game to kick on.
McPherson has a genuine opportunity to progress his Celtic career in the next fortnight with Tony Ralston joining Alistair Johnston in the treatment room.
