Viljami Sinisalo gives brutally honest answer on Celtic’s Sam Johnstone call

Celtic goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo admitted he was surprised when dropped in favor of loan signing Sam Johnstone for matches against St Johnstone and Rangers. Sinisalo, who took over Celtic's number one jersey following Kasper Schmeichel's retirement, has since reclaimed his starting spot and emphasized his determination to maintain his place ahead of a European match against Benfica.

Sinisalo stated there is no personal friction with Johnstone, noting their long-standing relationship that began during a trial at Aston Villa when Sinisalo was 15. The Finnish goalkeeper praised Johnstone's Premier League pedigree and underscored the mutual support within the squad's goalkeeping unit while reaffirming his goal to remain the regular starter.
