Image: Denny Johnstone: Third arrival on deadline day

Burton have completed the loan signing of Denny Johnstone from Birmingham until the end of the season.

The striker becomes the third arrival at the Pirelli Stadium on loan deadline day, following Liverpool duo Jack Dunn and Kevin Stewart. Johnstone has spent time on loan with Macclesfield and Cheltenham this season, scoring three times in nine games for the Conference side and one in five for the Robins. The 20-year-old former Scotland Under-19 international came through the youth system at Celtic before heading to Birmingham last June. He has made two appearances for the Blues, both coming as a substitute in August.
