Alistair Johnston had a World Cup training session halted due to nearby lightning strikes.
The Celtic player, who is currently training with the Canadian squad in Charlotte for the upcoming World Cup, said this interruption was not the "ideal start to a week."
Discussing the matter, he said: "It's a little bit frustrating if this keeps happening.
"It's obviously not an ideal start to a week here.”
A serious hamstring injury a few months ago had left Johnston concerned about missing the World Cup, which Canada will co-host.
However, he made a full recovery and played a crucial role in securing a league and cup double for Celtic.
Johnston now considers himself fit and ready for the World Cup challenge.
He said: "For me, I was looking at this season and with how it went, if I could be here fully fit was about maybe as good as I could ask for.
"And the fact that I'm here now and I'm feeling really strong, is something that, if you told me three months ago was going to be the case, I would have snapped your hand off for it."
He also stressed the importance of being in form for the tournament.
"You want to be playing not just for fitness, but also for form.
"You don't want to be coming into the biggest tournament of your life feeling like you're underprepared.
"It's no different than coming into a final exam as a student or something like that. You want to feel like you're ready for the challenge."
