The Canadian has had a whirlwind 18 months in Scotland but he looks at legends like James Forrest who have coped for 18 years
Alistair Johnston admits it’s been a mind blowing 18 months at Celtic trying to get his head around the fact he can’t even nick to the shops without getting swarmed by fans.
“I’ve learned it, going to the grocery store and even just simple things like that, you are constantly getting bombarded and just recognised. It takes a mental toll on you as well. “There’s the pressure day-in and day-out of not only just winning, but performing for this club. It’s a worldwide brand and you can feel the pressure that you need to win every game. A draw is not accepted here.
He said: “I am. You have to be selective sometimes. You need to understand how much energy you are actually expending in those conversations, so again, you want to be there for the fans, but, at the same time, you need to also really prioritise your mental health as well. Johnston is certainly making the most of his time with Celtic. He arrived in January last year as the man to replace outgoing Josip Juranovic and there were plenty who felt it would be a hard task stepping into the shoes of the Croatian ace.
