Alistair Johnston says being linked with Celtic is a special moment for him - but his full focus for the time being is on Canada.
The right-back is a player heavily linked with becoming Hoops manager Ange Postecoglou's second winter signing already, having already had Yuki Kobayashi pen a long-term deal. It's been claimed that the Canadian international currently at the World Cup in Qatar is soon to be on his way to Glasgow, with a verbal agreement in place with current club Montreal.
It was less than a year ago that Johnston made the move across the MLS to L'Impact from Nashville and now getting his name mentioned with the Premiership champions is a blessing, as he knows all about the passionate fanfare that comes with them. But with important matches to come in the middle-east, all talk of transfers needs to be shelved until the right moment presents itself.
