Sam Johnstone joins Celtic to compete for starting goalkeeper position

Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has completed a move to Celtic following his departure from Wolves. The 33-year-old arrives in Glasgow to challenge Viljami Sinisalo for the starting role under manager Martin O’Neill. Johnstone confirmed that he opted to join the Scottish champions after learning of their interest while training in England, noting that the opportunity was too significant to decline. Before finalizing the transfer, he consulted former Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart, who provided a positive assessment of the club environment and standards. While Johnstone acknowledges that the No. 1 position is not guaranteed, he expressed his intent to establish himself as the primary choice for the team. He joins the squad following a series of late-window additions made by the club.
