Alistair Johnston has been blown away by the warm welcome he’s received from Celtic players and supporters. But then again, most places are a bit warmer than where he’s come from.
The Canada star feels right at home in Glasgow following his £3m move from Montreal but he can’t help but chuckle when his teammates moan about the weather. It might bitter cold out there for us, but it’s practically tropical compared to his homeland at this time of year and a touch of frost isn’t going to stop Celts from turning up the heat in all three domestic competitions over the next few weeks.
Johnston has impressed since his January switch and is hoping for another run out against Morton in the Scottish Cup on Saturday lunchtime. And he certainly won’t be whinging about the weather. Johnston said: “I’m sorted with a place to live. Moving across the Atlantic is a little difficult, but at the same time we’ve had a lot of guys from Japan who really are moving across the world, English isn’t their first language – it’s a lot more difficult for guys like that.
