Alistair Johnston has opened up on the ice hockey mentality that he brought to football as the reported Celtic transfer target revealed: 'I've always loved the feeling of just laying someone out'.
It has been claimed Ange Postecoglou is tracking the Canada World Cup star with the future of star man Josip Juranovic unclear. It's believed that the Hoops 'will consider' offers for the full-back after his involvement in Qatar with Croatia with FC Montreal defender Johnston a potential replacement as the Scottish champions look to add further reinforcements.
Yoku Kobayashi is already in the door ahead of the January transfer window with the Hoops swooping to land the highly-regarded Vissel Kobe defender on a five-year deal. The 22-year-old is a left-sided centre-back and he will join up with his new team-mates next week. But he won't be able to make his competitive bow until next year.
