Celtic star Alistair Johnston has taken charge of a fight against his own FA over a furious funding and equal pay battle in his native Canada.
The Hoops ace has made a huge impact since his transfer from Montreal in the winter transfer window and played for his country during their World Cup campaign. And the 24-year-old full back has become the voice of the men's team who have criticised their own association, Canada Soccer, after an ongoing row between the Canadian women's team and their lack of funding which has escalated to the Canadian government getting involved.
Their players have been fighting for equal treatment, pay, funding and resources ahead of the 2023 Women's World Cup and Johnston has announced he will do everything he can to back them in their dispute, in an interview in his homeland. The Celtic star said: "We have been in solidarity with them for a long time and we completely understand their fight. We've been working hand in hand with them.
