A Celtic January transfer signing shared he is "taking Scottish lessons"  - by watching popular TV show Still Game.

Canada international Alistair Johnston joined Celtic in December before making his official debut in the Glasgow Derby against Rangers on January 2.

In a story published on his Instagram account, Johnston posted a photograph of his television playing the first episode of the first season of the popular show alongside the caption "taking Scottish lessons".

Still Game - created by Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill, who also star in the show - ran for nine seasons from 2002 to 2019 and a live show version sold out the Hydro in Glasgow.

Johnston, 24, arrived at Parkhead from MLS side CF Montreal and has seemingly adjusted quickly to life in Glasgow.

After making his first appearance in such a high-profile match, he said: "It’s the one that every single footballer dreams of.

Celtic Way:

“You want to go in and play the biggest matches, and there’s not really a bigger match than that in the entire world of football.

"That’s right up there with the atmosphere, the intensity, the passion from both fanbases – it was immense. And though it wasn’t the result we wanted in the end, we’re happy that we were able to get something out of it at the end and send our fans home with something to hold on to.

"I knew my family have been going a little too crazy if I let them know that I was starting, so I wanted them to wake up at 7am over there to check their phones and see me in the starting line-up and let them enjoy that moment and let me focus on the match.

“So we’ll see what they have to say but, again, I think they’ll be pretty excited for me and obviously happy with seeing their son, seeing their brother out there.

“It was an unbelievable experience and once you get a little bit of that taste, you just want more so I can’t wait for the next match already.”

Johnston has started the last five matches for Ange Postecoglou's side, helping the team keep four clean sheets in that time.
