THE arrival of Alistair Johnston at Celtic may have portended the end of Josip Juranovic’s time at the club, but the Croatian international has left a parting gift ahead of a prospective move to Union Berlin.
Although it has been felt for some while that Juranovic would move on in this window, particularly after his impressive showings at the World Cup, he has gone out of his way to take Johnston under his wing since the right-back arrived in Glasgow, fresh from Qatar himself.
The quirks of the full-back role under Postecoglou are such that Juranovic has been a hugely valuable resource for Johnston in their short time training together, and while he had hoped to have him around as a sounding board for a little while longer, the Canadian had nothing but good things to say about the dedication and professionalism of Juranovic in the midst of speculation over his future.
