Virgil van Dijk has revealed his shock choice for the best player he played with at Celtic.
The Liverpool superstar took part in a Twitter question and answer to pass some time during the coronavirus shutdown.
And the Dutch defender was quick to put in a good word for Norwegian midfielder Johansen when quizzed about the best player he played with at Parkhead.

Virgil said: "I loved my time at Celtic and played with so many top players but a special mention to Stefan Johansen."
During his time at Celtic Johansen picked up Player of the Year for the 2014/15 season, joint Players' Player of the Year alongside Scott Brown and also landed the PFA Scotland Player of the Year award.

We told in a similar question and answer session how Van Dijk’s teammate Andy Robertson revealed his favourite memory of football.
The Hoops-daft defender recalled Celtic's run to the UEFA Cup final in 2003 and responded: "Watching Henrik Larsson scoring away to Boavista to put Celtic in to the uefa cup final!"
The Scotland captain went on to add that the Swede was his favourite player of all time and said that former Parkhead defender Virgil Van Dijk is the team-mate that he's most glad he doesn't have to play against.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
