Celtic FC Ready to Offer Alistair Johnston Significant Pay Rise to Secure New Contract

Celtic FC has made a breakthrough in negotiations with defender Alistair Johnston, offering a substantial salary increase to persuade him to sign a new contract. Johnston, 26, has become an integral part of Brendan Rodgers’ squad since joining in January 2023.

Champions League Revival

Celtic’s Champions League campaign has seen a remarkable turnaround after a 7-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund. The Scottish Premiership champions drew with Atalanta and secured a thrilling 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig, moving to seven points from four games.

Upcoming Fixtures

Celtic faces critical matches against Club Brugge, Dinamo Zagreb, Young Boys, and Aston Villa in their final four games. Securing three wins would likely guarantee automatic qualification, while two victories could earn a spot in the knockout qualification round.

Domestic Success

Celtic’s strong start to the season includes an unbeaten run in the Scottish Premiership, sharing the top spot with Aberdeen. A 6-0 Scottish League Cup thrashing of Aberdeen followed a 2-2 draw.

Contract Breakthrough

According to the Daily Record, Celtic and Johnston are close to agreeing on a new contract, featuring a significant salary increase and extended stay. Johnston’s agent has flown to Scotland to finalize the deal.

Johnston’s Impressive Season

This season, Johnston has made 16 appearances, scoring four goals and providing four assists, earning four yellow cards.

Greg Taylor’s Contract Uncertainty

Fellow defender Greg Taylor’s contract expires at the end of the campaign, with no agreement reached despite Rodgers citing it as a priority.

Implications and Future

Securing Johnston’s future would bolster Celtic’s defense, while losing Taylor could weaken their backline. Celtic must prioritize tying down key players to maintain their domestic and European momentum.
