Alistair Johnston has consistently delivered outstanding performances for Celtic in recent seasons, making talks over a new contract well-deserved for the Canadian right-back.
Celtic is looking to negotiate fresh terms that would align Johnston’s wages with the club’s top earners, recognizing his relentless energy and impact on the right side of the field. With a high work rate and impressive stats, Johnston has become a fan favorite and maintained the standards set by former manager Brendan Rodgers.
Having started every game this season, Johnston has excelled in aerial duels and interceptions, contributing a goal and an assist in five appearances across all competitions. Pundit Andy Walker praises Johnston’s contributions, likening him to past standout right-backs like Jeremie Frimpong and Josip Juranovic.
With Johnston at the helm and Anthony Ralston providing support, Celtic’s right-back position is secure, eliminating the need for additional signings. Known for his hard work, quality, and level-headedness, Johnston is not only a talented player but also a valuable asset both on and off the field.
As negotiations for his contract extension continue, it’s clear that Johnston’s influence and talent are essential for the club’s success. Celtic fans can only hope for a swift resolution that keeps Johnston in the green and white jersey for years to come.
