The defender isn't willing to look too far ahead as he looks to bring two trophies to Celtic Park this term.
Alistair Johnston isn’t the type of player to lose his focus. And as Celtic enter the final stretch of their SPFL campaign, his eyes are fixed firmly on the prizes.
And he has been well warned about the difficulty of keeping tabs on Inter Miami’s Argentine icon. Johnston said: “It’s exciting, isn’t it? We’ve got Argentina in the first game, which is great. But I’m kinda hoping Messi stays on the other side of the pitch! The tournament is in America but it will be 99 per cent full of Messi jerseys, so that’ll be fun. It’s the first game of the tournament so I think they’re expecting Messi to put on a show.
“He looks like he’s just walking about on the pitch so you turn your head for a second. You lose the ball, you turn your head back and he’s gone! But that whole Argentina team are extremely talented. You don’t win a World Cup with just one player.” “We should be one of the top-three teams in our region every year now. But we need to back that up so it’s exciting to reach a Copa America off the back of a World Cup.
“But I think we’re slowly starting to turn heads. Canada is funny – a lot of people will cheer for Italy first then Canada second. And he loves the goldfish bowl environment he’s now in compared to what he’s used to in Canada. Johnston said: “I get recognised more here than in Toronto.
