Macclesfield have added to their striking ranks, with the short-term loan signing of Denny Johnstone.

Boss John Askey swooped just hours before the deadline for loan transfers passed to bolster his squad ahead of their trip to Conference front-runners Barnet this weekend.

Johnstone, 19, joined the Blues last summer, signing a three-year contract but has only featured twice from the bench for them this term.

The Scotland Under-19 international has, however, featured regularly for Birmingham's Under-21s and has four goals in seven outings to his name.

Dumfries-born Johnstone had previously excelled for Celtic's youngsters against their counterparts from, among others, Ajax and Barcelona.
