Alistair Johnston admits his physicality is core part of his Celtic identity as he lifted the lid on his skirmishes so far.
The Canadian has been bullish in his play since arriving from CF Montreal in January in a deal worth around £3.5million. Johnston was the replacement for Croatian star Josip Juranovic who left for Union Berlin in the same month. The 24-year-old was thrown in to the deep end against Rangers at Ibrox days after signing and seemed keen to get stuck in for Ange Postecoglou's side.
Since then the defender has not been shy in challenges, interceptions and big moments but was less-than stunned to see captain Callum McGregor take on the same mantra against Rangers last weekend. The Scotland international was involved in some handbags with Gers star Nicolas Raskin and Johnston says as he watched the clash unfold he thought 'that's my job'.
