Alistair Johnston

You called?

 

It's interesting that people in Scotland/Ireland can see such a connection because as a foreigner his name just sounds random to me.

We don't have that at all in Switzerland that you could connect a name to a confession.

 

Did alright against Marocco. Still don't know what's the plan as he seems to be similar to Ralston but I don't think he'll be a flop. Good enough for the league, if for the CL that stays open to me. At least he got challenged against world class opposition in this WC and hopefully can use that experience to improve.

 

ANGE POSTECOGLOU has admitted that Canada defender Alistair Johnston is ‘definitely on his radar’ after Celtic were reported to have agreed a £3m fee with CF Montreal to sign the right-back in January.

Johnston was one of the stars for the Maple Leafs during their short World Cup campaign, with the 24-year-old impressing despite the Canadians exiting the tournament at the group stage.

Those performances led to him being strongly linked with a move to Celtic, and Postecoglou has conceded that he is a player he would like to add to his squad.

“We’re looking at a number of players,” Postecoglou said. “We are looking to get stronger and he’s definitely one of the players on our radar.

“Hopefully there will be some developments in the near future and he can add something to our football club.”
