Celtic FC defender Alistair Johnston has taken to Instagram to publicly condemn Frontier Airlines after a post-tournament journey went badly wrong, leaving him stranded in the wrong city and without his luggage.

Johnston had just wrapped up a standout FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign with Canada, playing every single minute of the side's historic run to the Round of 16, before the travel nightmare began.

Johnston's scathing Instagram post

The right back made no effort to hide his frustration on social media. "Learned my lesson today. Never fly @FlyFrontier even if it's the only direct flight available," he wrote on Instagram.

"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," Johnston added.

The official Canada men's national team account responded to the Celtic star with a question — "Where did they send you?" — alongside a crying emoji, reflecting the disbelief felt by many of his followers.

Johnston has not provided any further updates on his whereabouts or the location of his luggage, leaving the full story of his post-World Cup adventure unresolved.

A tournament to remember for Canada

Despite the travel chaos, Johnston was quick to express his gratitude to Canadian supporters following the end of the team's memorable tournament run.

"Thank you Canada," he wrote in a separate Instagram post. "Your support gave us the belief that anything was possible and we hope that you all enjoyed the ride as much as we did!"

Canada's appearance in the Round of 16 at FIFA World Cup 2026 marked a historic milestone for the nation, and Johnston's performances throughout the tournament were a key part of that achievement.
