My Take
Alistair Johnston is the sort of player I root for instinctively. He didn't arrive via some glamorous academy pipeline; he grafted through the American college game and MLS stops at Nashville and Montréal before earning a move to Celtic, one of football's grand old institutions. That's a self-made arc, and you can see it in how he plays right-back: relentless engine, smart positioning, no theatrics. As a fixture for Canada, he embodies the rising confidence of North American soccer. I find his grounded, earn-it-every-day mentality far more compelling than flashier names, and I think his ceiling is higher than people assume.
