Sam Johnstone made a stunning save to prevent Celtic from conceding on his debut. The former England Internationalist started the game ahead of Vil Sinisalo and was called into action midway through the first half when Cotterill met Alic’s low cross.
Despite the ball coming at him quickly, an instinctive save from the 33-year-old denied a certain goal, perhaps vindicating Martin O’Neill’s call to swap goalkeepers.

Johnstone started his first league game since December, where he turned out for Wolves against eventual Premier League Champions Arsenal.
