Take a Bow Alistair Johnson; Celtic Star’s Sunday Night Message
In a heartfelt message, Alistair Johnston took to social media to express his gratitude towards Canadian fans for their unwavering support during the Copa America. Canada’s historic run in the tournament, which saw them reach the semi-finals, captured the hearts of fans and showcased the nation’s growing football prowess.
Canada’s debut in the Copa America was nothing short of spectacular. Making it all the way to the semi-finals, the team was eventually edged out by the tournament winners, Argentina. The journey was exciting for Canadian supporters, filled with memorable moments and a sense of pride in their national team’s achievements. Despite a heartbreaking penalty shootout loss to Uruguay in the third-place playoff, the team’s performance was commendable.

Given the demanding schedule Johnston has endured, he is expected to miss the beginning of Celtic’s new season. While there is hope that he may return in time for the kickoff, Johnston will need to undergo a personalised pre-season fitness regime to regain peak condition.
Johnston’s fatigue was evident during the Scottish Cup final against Rangers. Despite his exhaustion, his determination and resilience were clear as he played a crucial role in securing victory. His performances for Canada further highlighted his dedication, but also underscored his need for rest and recovery.
As Johnston prepares to recharge, Celtic fans eagerly anticipate his return to action. His contributions to both Celtic and Canada have proven his importance on the field, and a well-rested Johnston is expected to be a key player for the upcoming season in Glasgow.
