Alistair Johnston, a football defender hailing from the northern lands of Canada, came into the world on the 8th of October, 1998. Now, at the seasoned age of 27, he serves his duty on the football field as a right back for Celtic Football Club. Standing sturdy on the turf at a height of 5ft 10in (1.8m), Johnston rises to the demands of his footballing responsibilities with a robust weight of 12st 1lb (77kg). Being both a Canadian and Celtic, he's given the honour of donning the number 2 jersey not only at Celtic but also when representing his homeland on the football field.
As footballing valuations go, Johnston currently finds himself pegged at roughly Β£7m, according to the good folks at Transfermarkt.
Johnston's journey into Major League Soccer (MLS) began in February of 2020, when he joined Nashville through the draft. His debut season saw 18 appearances for the stateside club. He maintained his momentum the following season, recording a personal tally of 26 appearances, even managing to etch his name on the scoreboard with a goal to his name.
Come December of 2021, Johnston traded familiar pastures for new shores, transferring from Nashville to CF Montreal. He graced the field for Montreal a significant 33 times and celebrated the scoring of four goals during the 2022 season.
Johnston's football journey then took an Atlantic turn, as he made a bold move to Celtic Football Club in Scotland's Premiership in 2023. The price tag? A cool sum of around Β£3m.
Since his arrival at Celtic, Johnston has made a commendable contribution to the club. He graced the field a total of 14 times in his debut season, leaving his mark with a goal. The following season saw him assert his presence at Celtic, making 32 appearances and recording another goal to his name. His third season was much the same, 32 appearances with four goals. Currently, in the 2025 - 2026 season, Johnston has appeared twice for Celtic.
However, Johnston has not limited his football journey to just the domestic sphere. His venture into international and European football has seen him compete in an array of competitions, including the Champions League 2023 - 2024 with six appearances for Celtic, League Cup 2025 - 2026 scoring a goal for Celtic, along with Champions League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026, Gold Cup 2025 and Copa America 2024 for Canada, and the Europa League 2025 - 2026 for Celtic.
