According to Major League Soccer (MLS) website journalist Tom Bogert, talks in this direction are well advanced with Celtic of Glasgow, Scotland. The 24-year-old defender also holds Irish nationality due to his mother, which means he holds a UK passport.
Johnston played his first season in Montreal in 2022, registering four goals and four assists to his record in MLS. He is still under contract with the Bleu-Blanc-Noir until December 31, 2023, in addition to two optional years.
The British Columbian played all 90 minutes of Wednesday’s game against Belgium. He has 31 caps for the national team.
Celtic are comfortably at the top of the Scottish championship ahead of their big rivals, Glasgow Rangers. It is the second most decorated club in the history of the region.
