Celtic defender Alistair Johnston has blasted an airline after a chaotic journey left him stranded in the “wrong city” and without his luggage following Canada’s World Cup exit.
The 27-year-old featured in all five matches as Canada made history by reaching the knockout stages for the first time, before their campaign ended with a 3-0 defeat to Morocco in the last 16.
Learned my lesson today. Never fly @FlyFrontier even if it’s the only direct flight available. Genuinely look for multi-stop redeye flights before flying with them. I’m still not sure where my bags are and I’m in the wrong city somehow 🤣🙃

But Johnston’s return from international duty has been anything but smooth, with the right-back taking to social media to vent his frustration at Frontier Airlines.
He wrote: “Learned my lesson today. Never fly @FlyFrontier even if it’s the only direct flight available.

Canada’s official account responded to the post, asking: “Where did they send you?”, though Johnston has yet to reveal his unexpected destination.
The defender is now expected to link back up with Celtic ahead of the new season after his extended summer on international duty.
