Alistair Johnston went back to his roots on Sunday evening as he dropped the puck at the Glasgow Clan hockey match at Braehead arena.
The Celtic defender used to play ice hockey back before he became a professional footballer and being from Canada it’s a sport that’s hugely popular over his side of the world.
Alistair dropped the puck but he didn’t give the home side any luck on the night. The Glasgow Clan were thrashed 7-0 by Cardiff Devils.
Johnstone credits his ice hockey days for the intensity he can play football at.
You won’t meet a friendlier guy off the pitch, but on it, Alistair is a fierce competitor and will get in the face of his opponents if he has too.
The Canadian has almost been at Celtic a year, and has made the right back position his own. He was given the day off against Ross County, Anthony Ralston deputised in his absence and put in a good performance.
Alistair and the rest of his teammates will be getting set to head to Madrid today ahead of their Champions league tie against Atletico on Tuesday evening.
His level has dropped its just a personal view he did set his self high standards might be getting used to managers tactics still best rght back defender in spl its st mirren game cross came from his wing phillips coming across he desserted his position our defenders never really get many minutes defending in spl most teams go 541 till celtic score only change then only in the last 10 maybe 15 min pundets say well oganised its nothing but parking bus celtic go athletico madrid a very good team not the animals we played in the 70s we will defend but we wont park the bus if and when we get chances and we will we have to take them that has cost us in thae past two european champion league they say we represent a league that some punduts dont want to do well but it of all the teans in spl we are the only team that is goo
