Celtic fans were left jubilant this afternoon as Ange Postecoglou masterminded a 3-2 victory in the Glasgow derby.
Despite not being at the top of their game, the Hoops still tasted victory and whilst there were a number of players who weren’t their best, a few stood out.
Kyogo undoubtedly caught the eye for his brace along with Jota for his attacking contributions however it was right back Alistair Johnston who was awarded the in-stadium man of the match.
💪 Massive effort from @_a_johnston!

The Canadian was tremendous at right back, getting stuck into tackles and bombing up and down the right.
It was Johnston’s third derby since joining Celtic in January and he is only thriving in green and white.
Week on week, Johnston gets more than pass marks and is one of the Hoops’ most consistent performers.
He has been a terrific signing and more than ample replacement for Josip Juranovic, his performance today adding even more testament to that.
