Stiliyan Petrov reckons Celtic have landed an upgrade on Josip Juranovic in new right-back Alistair Johnston.
The Canadian was named man of the match in their win over Rangers that catapulted the Hoops into an unassailable 12 point lead at the top of the Premiership ahead of the final seven games. Johnston admitted himself it wasn't a vintage Celtic performance but they did enough to emerge from a thrilling derby with a 3-2 win over their rivals and they just need ten more points to make mathematically sure of their second straight title.
It was a tumultuous January for the Hoops but it hasn't knocked them out of their stride. Juranovic and Giorgos Giakoumakis both left but have been seamlessly replaced with Johnston arriving and nailing down the right-back spot as his own, starting all but one of the Premiership games since his arrival from Montreal. And his tough-tackling style caught Petrov's eye as the former Celtic star was left applauding his impact.
