Former Rangers player Andy Halliday praised Celtic’s Alistair Johnston for his standout performance in the 3-0 win over Motherwell, where Johnston wore the captain’s armband in the absence of Callum McGregor and Cameron Carter-Vickers. Speaking on *Clyde Superscoreboard*, Halliday selected Johnston as his “Performer of the Weekend,” highlighting the Canadian’s calm handling of the added pressure and his contributions both defensively and offensively, including a well-taken backpost header.
Johnston, who joined Celtic as a replacement for the highly-regarded Josip Juranovic, has been exceptional at right-back, known for his one-on-one defending and growing influence in attack. Halliday commended Johnston’s progress since joining the club, noting his increasing offensive impact over the past six months.
Halliday now turns his attention to Motherwell’s League Cup semi-final against Rangers on Sunday, with Stuart Kettlewell’s side vying for a spot in the final, where they could potentially face Celtic if they defeat Aberdeen the day prior.
