There is now a fellow Canadian internationalist living in Glasgow with Alistair Johnston. Celtic failed to replace Adam Idah with a good striker on the transfer deadline day, which will go down in history for all the wrong reasons.
was the only player who was traded, as the winger joined Celtic from Hammarby in a deal worth £5.2 million. Rangers bought Youssef Chermiti from Everton for £8 million and got Derek Cornelius on loan from Marseille on the other side of the city. And as soon as it was official that Cornelius was going to the Rangers on Monday, Johnston called his friend in Canada.
When Johnston and Derek Cornelius play for Celtic and Rangers, they become enemies. Cornelius and Johnston have played 91 times for Canada between them.
The Celtic right back is only one year younger than the central defender. The new Rangers player said that Johnston called him and told him what to expect when he signed with one of Glasgow’s two biggest teams. “He just gave me a little bit of an idea of what to expect,” Cornelius told the Daily Record. We can be friends with Canada here in the foreign camp, but we don’t get along with them in Glasgow. Please don’t look at me.
Good to know there’s another Canadian in the same city, even if he plays for the wrong team. “Things have been pretty busy.” I also haven’t had enough sleep. I was ready to join Rangers because everything was in order.
“I wasn’t even sure if I would go with the team to Lyon for Marseille’s last game.” To make a long story short, I had to rush to the airport in the middle of the night to catch a flight to Glasgow.
In Kazakhstan, Ralston was seen taking drugs against Kairat Almaty. On Sunday, he played in the 0-0 draw with Rangers. It’s possible that Celtic made this choice to be safe and make sure Ralston doesn’t hurt himself more while on international duty.
