A Celtic star has praised a Glasgow restaurant for serving him a top meal. 

Canadian right back Alistair Johnston is one of the club's newest signings and has been left delighted with one of the city's most popular Japanese spots.

Akiko is based at the city's Bothwell Street and specialises in sushi and create-your-own poke bowls as well as bento boxes.

We previously reported that it was ranked highly on Deliveroo as a 'hidden gem' in Glasgow. 

Johnston shared a photo on his Instagram story of an empty poke bowl with the caption: "Dominant performance."
