It breaks Colin Miller’s heart to admit it. But the former Rangers defender reckons Celtic have signed a gem in Alistair Johnston.
A full back in the mould of his old adversary Danny McGrain no less. And while the 24-year-old has a long way to go to even get close to the Hoops icon, Miller reckons the £3million signing from CF Montreal has what it takes to become a fans’ favourite at Parkhead in his own right.
The 58-year-old Scot - who won 61 caps for his adopted nation Canada between 1983 and 1997 - has seen enough of Johnston over the last few years to know he’s the real deal. He never got to work with him in a coaching capacity but in his role working for radio and TV for Vancouver Whitecaps he’s watched him up close. And he’s not surprised in the slightest to see the World Cup star snapped up by one of Glasgow’s big two.
