Alistair Johnston only had to talk with Ange Postecoglou on a Zoom call before the Celtic boss knew he would be a top fit.
The Canadian is an emerging favourite of Parkhead fans after stellar performances since arriving from CF Montreal in January. Celtic paid around £3.5million for the right-back's services as it appeared top star Josip Juranovic would be calling time on his 18-month journey in Glasgow. The Croatian would leave for Union Berlin and net the Hoops a cool package worth around £10million.
Since then Johnston has endeared himself majorly to Celtic for his infectious mentality and work rate, something Postecoglou identified after speaking with the 24-year-old on Zoom. The Aussie knew he had found a potential gem due to his character and says he has taken on the challenge of replacing Juranovic with unbridled confidence.
