Alistair Johnston’s Humble Sunday Evening Celtic Post

After Celtic’s decisive 3-0 win over Motherwell, Alistair Johnston was in reflective mood. With regular captains Callum McGregor and vice captain Cameron Carter-Vickers out, Johnston was handed the captain’s armband and led the team confidently, contributing at both ends of the field.

His standout moment came in the 58th minute when he met Alex Valle’s cross with a clinical header, sealing Celtic’s second goal of the match.

The right-back’s leadership was on full display, and after the final whistle, Johnston shared a single-word social media post that spoke volumes: “honoured.” Accompanied by a picture of him in celebrating his goal. As a natural leader, Johnston has not only earned the respect of his teaMMAtes but has embedded himself as a fan favourite.

Brendan Rodgers has placed high expectations on the Canadian international, and Johnston has risen to the occasion, showing his worth as a strong, adaptable defender and now a leader on the pitch.

Celtic supporters were thrilled to see him embrace the captaincy with pride, seeing in him the characteristics they value most: determination, skill, and a dedication to the badge.

As Celtic continue their Premiership campaign, Johnston’s performances are shaping up to be among the highlights. It’s clear the defender is already having a standout season.
