Canadian defender Alistair Johnston made his Celtic debut Monday with Kyogo Furuhashi's 88th-minute goal securing a point for the Scottish league leader in a 2-2 tie with Glasgow rival Rangers.
Trailing 1-0 after a fifth-minute Daizen Maeda goal, Rangers pulled ahead early in the second half on goals by Ryan Kent and skipper James Tavernier .
Speaking prior to the match, Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou said Johnston had performed well in training and that Croatia right back Jusip Juranovic wasn't 100 per cent fit. But Juranovic was called on in the 21st minute when left fullback Greg Taylor left with an apparent hamstring injury. Kent tied the score from just inside the Celtic penalty box, sidestepping Johnston to curl a right-footed shot past a diving Joe Hart, Tavernier then put the home side ahead from the penalty spot after Swedish centre back Carl Starfelt took Fashion Sakala down. It marked the 100th career goal for Tavernier.
The 24-year-old from Aurora, Ont., has won 33 caps for Canada in total. The 34-year-old Arfield last played for Canada in November 2019, retiring from international football with 19 caps.
