Over three months, three Derby matches and one trophy win Alastair Johnston is the definition of hitting the ground running.
It is incredible to think that he was nowhere near Celtic in the first half of the season as the title lead was built up and the squad got a taste of the Champions League.
Alongside Callum McGregor and Kyogo Furuhashi he was the driving force in yesterday’s Glasgow Derby victory that brings another trophy within sight.
While others around him were badly off their game the right-back produced something extra to ensure that e finished up on the winning side. The ice hockey guy from Montreal delivered alright!
No feeling can ever match it??? https://t.co/Fw0qcJCF2b

Josip Juranovic set a high benchmark, he played a big part in establishing Angeball but there won’t be many if any Celtic fans that would swap the Union Berlin defender for his successor.
