Martin O’Neill outlines injury concern for Alistair Johnston after Celtic win

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill expressed concern after key full-back Alistair Johnston suffered a potential hamstring injury during Sunday's 2-1 victory over Hibernian. Making his first appearance in two and a half months as a second-half substitute, Johnston was forced off just 20 minutes after coming on at Easter Road. O'Neill confirmed the player felt discomfort high in his hamstring and will undergo scans to assess the full severity of the problem.

The setback followed a hard-fought comeback victory that kept Celtic four points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership. After Owen Elding put Hibernian ahead, a Jason Kerr own goal and a decisive strike from Camilo Duran secured the win for the visitors.
