Celtic’s Alistair Johnston was once more on the scoresheet as the Hoops beat Dundee 2-0 in the Scottish Premiership last night.
It was a comfortable victory for the Bhoys, who created enough opportunities to score several more goals than what they did.
Introduced in the 57th minute, it didn’t take Johnston long to get involved in the game.
Winger Yang Hyun-jun dropped the shoulder, and Johnston’s left boot forced his deflected cross past a helpless Jon McCracken on the hour mark.
Late last night, the Canadian took to Instagram, telling supporters to enjoy their night:
Johnston can’t stop scoring at the minute. He netted a terrific diving header against Motherwell at the weekend, and within three minutes of coming on last night, the 26-year-old had the ball in the back of the net.
The defender is the second-joint top scorer in the Scottish Premiership and has trebled his goal tally in green and white since the start of the season.
For his antics last night, although he only played just over half an hour, Johnston was named the in-stadium Man of the Match.
It was a productive night for Johnston and his teammates, who extended their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership over city rivals Rangers to a colossal nine points.
All attention now, though, turns to the league cup for the Bhoys, with Aberdeen lying in wait at Hampden this Saturday night.
