The Celtic managed addressed Johnston and his squad's status at his pre-match media conference at Lennoxtown on Friday afternoon.
He said: "The squad is healthy - we expect Ali [Johnston] to be okay. He was out on the pitches this afternoon, so we should have everyone fit and available.
"[He had] an extra bit of recovery. Naturally, he's been an outstanding player for us over the course of his time here, and in particular this season. He's been instrumental in our work.
"Speaking to him earlier, and out on the pitch he was fine so we expect him to be okay."
