Celtic urged to hold out for £20m-plus for Alistair Johnston amid Everton interest

Summary

Celtic has been advised to reject any bids below £20 million for right-back Alistair Johnston, who is attracting interest from Everton. Analyst Michael Stewart emphasized that Celtic is in a strong position due to Johnston's contract, which runs for three more years. Given his performances, including participation in the World Cup and the Champions League, Stewart believes the club should be patient and could afford to keep him for another season. Everton's valuation reportedly falls short of Celtic's expectations, leading to ongoing speculation about Johnston's future.
