Alistair Johnston's hilarious 'size 11 feet' response to Dundee goal

Celtic overcame Dundee 2-0 at Celtic Park tonight in the Scottish Premiership with goals from Alistair Johnston and Arne Engels.

Engels converted the home side's second from the spot after 67 minutes, and it took the former until the hour mark to break the deadlock with his second goal in as many games.

On as a second-half substitute, the Canadian pounced on a deflected Yang cross from the right flank when he poked the ball home with an outstretched leg.

Speaking to Celtic TV after the match, the full-back (who was awarded the stadium Man of the Match) joked about the size of his feet.

He said: "Finally the size 11 feet have come to help me for once. They don't help with the stepovers, but they did help me get a big toe on it!

"I think we'll look back on the stats, in the first half things just didn't break our way, that's going to happen in matches.

"But with our style of play, it's just so strong. When we play the way the gaffer wants us to, it can be exhausting.

"It was important that whatever they did, whatever they threw at us, we got the job done and got the three points."
