The Hoops ace was thousands of miles away but still felt the aftershocks from the famous victory against Lionel Messi and co
The Parkhead ace revealed he felt the shockwaves from Neil Lennon ’s side's incredible win against Lionel Messi ’s and co in 2012 from all the way across the Atlantic when he was a youngster in Canada. And Johnston would love to stun the football world again by getting the better of the Bundesliga big guns in the Champions League play-off clash in Glasgow. The Celtic favourite said: “As a kid growing up in Canada, I remember that match.
Johnston admitted it’s a tough task achieving legend status at Celtic Park because of the long list of greats who have gone before. But Wednesday night’s showdown is a huge chance for the current side to carve out their place in the club’s history. “European Cup winners, Callum McGregor just hit 500 appearances and some of the trophy hauls that him and James Forrest have, it’s insane, it really is insane. You want to find a way to leave a lasting legacy on the club and that’s not an easy task to do at this club.
