Johnston, 26, was a £3.5million signing for Celtic from CF Montreal back in January 2023.
After a stellar debut in a baptism of fire occasion against Rangers in the Old Firm derby, he's never looked back.
A firm fans' favourite, Johnston has just crossed the 100-appearance mark in the green and white hoops.
The Canada international has become one of the first names on the Celtic team sheet and his consistent form has reportedly attracted interest from Italian giants Inter Milan.

Johnston, who's under contract at Parkhead until 2029, has very much made Glasgow his home since making the move across the Atlantic.
Back in his early days in Scotland, Celtic put Johnston through a Scottish slang test to mark Burns Night.
And it's fair to say it left him absolutely baffled.
But a couple of years on, it seems like Johnston has picked up many of the local phrases - and he's revealed his favourite.

Appearing on an Instagram Q&A, Johnston quickly said: "You're goin to have to beep this!"
