Celtic fans have been told not to lose any sleep over seeing Josip Juranovic sail off into the sunset as stand-in Alistair Johnston has the potential to be even better than the departed Croat.
World Cup star Juranovic finally checked out of Parkhead at the weekend as he headed to Union Berlin in a deal that will bank the Hoops £7.5m up front and could rise to £10m. The full back was one of the stars of Ange Postecoglou’s title winning campaign last season but had his heart set on a big money move to one of Europe’s top leagues.
Hoops hero Peter Grant rated Juranovic but he reckons his old club might even have a more promising prospect on their hands with his replacement. Johnston has slotted in seamlessly since his £3m move from Montreal in the MLS and the Canada World Cup star has clearly thrown himself into life at Parkhead. Grant has been seriously impressive with the 24-year-old and he’s convinced it won’t be long before fans will be saying Jura who?
