Celtic expects bids for Alistair Johnston, Julian Araujo eyed as replacement

Celtic prepares for a potential bid for right back Alistair Johnston with Everton expressing interest. Speculation surrounding Johnston's exit stems from Celtic's valuation of around £20 million. If Johnston departs, Julian Araujo, who had a successful loan spell at Celtic last season, is considered the ideal replacement, with a possible fee reported at £8 million from Bournemouth. Celtic's depth at right back could be a concern if Johnston leaves, as Tony Ralston and Colby Donovan are the remaining options.
