It's looking like a matter of time now before Alistair Johnston is announced as a Celtic player with new reports in the US hinting his unveiling is imminent.
The Canada right-back has been earning rave reviews for his country but Ange Postecoglou got in before his World Cup performances could attract the vultures. News that a fee had been agreed was broken while he was impressing against Croatia and Record Sport understands that is worth a fee in the region of £3million.
Johnston has all-but admitted a move is close with his Montreal teammate Victor Wanyama turning Celtic double agent to help make it happen. And media in his homeland are excited to see it as Postecoglou's globetrotters are about to get another stamp on their well-travelled passport. When these deals drag on, there can often be some anxiety, especially when there is plenty of interest from elsewhere - but Forbes reporter Manuel Veth says this one is "completely agreed" and "should be announced soon."
