After helping to secure a double, several Celtic players currently represent their countries internationally.
Liam Scales and Mikey Johnston face a daunting task tonight for Ireland against Portugal while Luis Palma stood out for Honduras yesterday, registering a hat-trick of assists.
Greg Taylor, Callum McGregor, James Forrest, and Anthony Ralston have been undergoing their preparations for the Euros with Scotland and another Celts who is getting ready for a summer tournament is Alistair Johnston.
Canada kick-off their Copa America campaign against world champions Argentina a week on Friday and have recently been playing some friendlies.
One of those came against France on Sunday evening in Bordeaux, where they secured an impressive goalless draw.
Johnston started and played an hour at right-back, posting on Instagram after the match with the simple caption ‘Battle testing’:

Getting a result against recent World Cup finalists and one of the favourites for the Euros will fill Jesse Marsch’s team with a wealth of confidence, especially after they were thumped 4-0 by the Netherlands a few days prior.
Some tough tests lie ahead for Johnston and his teammates in the upcoming Copa, but their performance and consequent result from the weekend will give them a much-needed sense of encouragement.
