CU Top 10 - No4 AJ

The Canadian right back had perhaps his best season yet

In the ‘what’s not to like’ stakes, Alistair Johnston is pretty much without significant blemish. As a player, and a person. All of which seemed to fuse together to ensure the Canadian’s endeavours across the 2024-25 campaign represented his best season in the hoops since his £3.5m move from CF Montreal in January 2023. Deservingly earning him fourth place in the Celtic Underground top 10 players for the club last season.

The Celtic right-back is an articulate, engaging and garrulous individual. Everything you would want as an ambassador of the club. And that pretty much extends to his bustling on-field contributions; his aggression and drive underpinned by his ‘elbows up’ hockey-playing youth. Perfect for the blood and snotters environment of the Scottish game.
