Celtic defender included on FIFA ‘The Best’ shortlist

Celtic defender Alistair Johnston has been included on the FIFA ‘The Best’ shortlist for defenders. The 26-year-old has had an impressive season so far combining well with Nicolas Kühn on the right but his Copa America exploits, coupled with his success with Celtic, have resulted in recognition for the player.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano shared the complete shortlist, which includes top defenders from around the World.
