Alistair Johnston admits he was buzzing to experience the 'toxic' Old Firm atmosphere as he revealed the four word text his brother sent after his Celtic start.
Ange Postecoglou snapped up the Canada World Cup star in December and handed the right-back a real baptism of fire by throwing him for his debut against Rangers at Ibrox. It was a sound debut from the new recruit who revealed he NEVER told his family about his start the night before and let them find out after they woke up on matchday.
The defender officially became a Celtic player on New Years Day despite spending the weeks before that at Lennoxtown getting used to his new surrounding and team-mates. It was a dream start with Johnston already looking forward to the next derby day at Parkhead. On his first experience of the blockbuster clash, he said: "I was buzzing, just to get out there. The atmosphere was as toxic as I wanted it to be.
