Grinning Alistair Johnston says it was special moving 12 points clear at the top of the Premiership - especially when it's against 'them.'
The Celtic right-back was named man of the match against Rangers as they extended their gap at the top to an unassailable distance with just seven games to go. He's been a seamless replacement for Josip Juranovic since his arrival from Montreal and has already made himself a hero to the Parkhead support with a string of impressive defensive performances.
He was picking up his man of the match awards in the hospitality suite and he sparked a round of applause when he appeared to take a cheeky pop at rivals Rangers by refusing to name them. In footage shared on Twitter by fan @dacardle, Johnston said: "We always make it difficult on ourselves don't we? But at the same time, it's three points. The support was unbelievable, you guys willed us across that line, so that was really important. To go 12 points clear was really special - especially against them!"
