'''Maurice John Giblin Johnston''' (born 13 April 1963) is a Scottish former [[association football|football]] player and coach. Johnston, who played as a [[forward (association football)|forward]], started his senior football career with [[Partick Thistle F.C.|Partick Thistle]] in 1981. He moved to [[Watford F.C.|Watford]] in 1983, where he scored 23 league goals and helped them reach the [[1984 FA Cup Final]]. In 1984 he joined [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] and scored 72 goals in 128 matches, won the [[Scottish Cup]] in 1985 and the [[list of Scottish football champions|Scottish league championship]] in 1986. Johnston signed for [[FC Nantes Atlantique|Nantes]] in 1987. He returned to [[Glasgow]] with [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]] in 1989, becoming the second player to cross the [[Old Firm]] divide since [[World War II]] ([[Alfie Conn, Jr.|Alfie Conn]] was first) and the first open [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] to play for Rangers since [[World War I]].

Johnston won two Scottish league titles with Rangers, scoring 46 goals in 100 games. He later played for [[Everton F.C.|Everton]], [[Heart of Midlothian F.C.|Hearts]], [[Falkirk F.C.|Falkirk]] and American [[Major League Soccer]] (MLS) side [[Kansas City Wizards]]. Johnston received his first international cap for [[Scotland men's national football team|Scotland]] in 1984, when he was at Watford. He scored 14 goals in 38 appearances for Scotland, including one at the [[1990 FIFA World Cup|1990 World Cup]].

After retiring as a football player in 2001, Johnston coached in MLS. He was most recently the manager and later [[Director of Football|Director of Soccer]] at MLS club [[Toronto FC]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://web.mlsnet.com/players/bio.jsp?team=t280&player=johnston_mo |title=Toronto FC: Roster: Player Bio |publisher=Major League Soccer |access-date=27 March 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090302124415/http://web.mlsnet.com/players/bio.jsp?team=t280&player=johnston_mo |archive-date=2 March 2009 }}</ref> before he parted company with them on 14 September 2010.<ref name=fired>{{cite news|title=Toronto FC cleans house |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/soccer/toronto-fc-cleans-house/article1706805/|last=Attfield|first=Paul|work=[[The Globe and Mail]]|location=Toronto|date=14 September 2009|access-date=2009-09-14}}</ref>

==Club career==

===Partick Thistle===
{{Expand section|date=July 2010}}
Johnston started his career in 1981 with [[Partick Thistle F.C.|Partick Thistle]] and scored 41 goals in two and a half seasons there.

===Watford===
Johnston then moved on to English club [[Watford F.C.|Watford]] for a fee of £210,000 in November 1983, when they were struggling against relegation from the First Division a season after finishing second. His arrival revived their season as they recovered well to finish mid table, as he scored 20 goals in just 29 league games. He also helped them reach their first ever [[FA Cup final]], which they [[1984 FA Cup final|lost 2–0]] to [[Everton F.C.|Everton]]. He began the [[1984–85 in English football|1984–85]] season still at [[Vicarage Road]] and got three goals in nine First Division games before returning to Scotland.<ref name=Stats>{{cite news|url= http://www.sporting-heroes.net/football-heroes/displayhero_club.asp?HeroID=41186 |title=Johnston Career Stats |publisher=Sporting Heroes |access-date=17 July 2010}}</ref>

===Celtic===
Johnston scored 14 league goals in 27 games during his first season at the club. In [[1985–86 in Scottish football|1985–86]] he scored 15 goals from 32 Premier Division games as Celtic won the league title. During the [[1986–87 in Scottish football|1986–87]] season Johnston scored 23 goals from 40 games.

===Nantes===
Johnston moved on to French club [[FC Nantes Atlantique|Nantes]] in 1987 and scored 22 goals in two seasons there. After initially claiming he would never return to Scotland, Johnston reconsidered and appeared at a press conference to announce that he would sign for Celtic at the end of his contract with Nantes.

===Rangers===
In July 1989, Johnston opted not to return to Celtic (who had recently sold his replacement [[Frank McAvennie]] back to [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]]) and instead joined [[Graeme Souness]]'s Rangers. From the early 20th century onwards, [[Rangers F.C. signing policy|Catholics had not been knowingly signed by Rangers]], nor employed in other prominent roles as an 'unwritten rule'.<ref name=OFSecSportSoc>{{cite book|title=The Old Firm: Sectarianism, Sport and Society in Scotland|publisher=John Donald Publishers|author=Murray, William J.|year=2000|pages=60,64,65,189|isbn=9780859765428}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Football: A Sociology of the Global Game|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|author=Giulianotti, Richard|year=1999|page=18|isbn= 9780745617695|quote=Historically Rangers have maintained a staunch Protestant and anti-Catholic tradition which includes a ban on signing Catholic players.}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Glasgow, the Uneasy Peace: Religious Tension in Modern Scotland, 1819–1914|publisher=Manchester University Press ND|author=Gallagher, Tom|year=1987|page=[https://archive.org/details/glasgowuneasypea00gall/page/300 300]|isbn= 9780719023965|url=https://archive.org/details/glasgowuneasypea00gall|url-access=registration|access-date=18 August 2012|quote=The conflict in Ireland failed to be the catalyst which swept the religious cobwebs from the Ibrox-based club's terraces and boardroom.

===Everton===
On 18 November 1991, Johnston signed to [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] for £1.5M, forming a three-man strikeforce alongside [[Tony Cottee]] and [[Peter Beardsley]]. He scored seven goals in 21 league games as Everton finished mid table in the [[1991–92 in English football|1991–92]] campaign of the [[Football League First Division|First Division]]. Johnston scored three goals in 13 games as Everton finished 13th in the [[1992–93 in English football|first season]] of the new Premier League, losing his place in the first team to new signing [[Paul Rideout]]. One of his goals in the 1992–93 season came in a 3–0 away win over [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] in the second game of the Premier League season.

Despite the departure of Peter Beardsley to [[Newcastle United]] in the close season, Johnston remained out of the team during the [[1993–94 in English football|1993–94]] campaign as manager [[Howard Kendall]] reverted to the traditional 4–4–2 formation and partnered Tony Cottee with [[Paul Rideout]] in attack.

In October 1993, Johnston was given a free transfer when attempts to sell him failed.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}}

===Return to Scottish football===
Johnston returned to Scotland with [[Edinburgh]] club [[Heart of Midlothian F.C.|Heart of Midlothian]], making 31 appearances in his first season and scoring four goals. He found himself out of the team the following season<ref>{{cite news |title=BETT ON IT – MO'S ON HIS BIKE; Mo Johnston dropped by Hearts and Jim Bett is in |work=Daily Record |date=23 September 1994|author=Alister Nicol}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=HEART BREAKER FOR MOJO; pounds 3000 a week star trains with kids!; Mo Johnston has been dropped from the RESERVES and is training with the Tynecastle KIDS|work=Daily Record |date=11 December 1994|author=Iain King}}</ref> and was given another free transfer in February 1995 after a long dispute over the settlement of his contract.<ref>{{cite news |title=I'VE WON MY WAR SAYS MOJO; Maurice Johnston blasts Tommy McLean|work=Daily Record|date=1 March 1995|author=John Docherty}}</ref> Joining [[Falkirk F.C.|Falkirk]], he scored one goal in the remainder of that season and five in the next season as [[Falkirk F.C.|Falkirk]] were relegated from the [[Scottish Football League Premier Division|Scottish Premier Division]].

===MLS===
In 1996, Johnston moved to the United States and [[Major League Soccer]], signing with the [[Kansas City Wiz]] (later renamed the Wizards). He scored 31 goals in 149 games for the club, adding a goal in 15 [[playoff]] games. He was part of the Wizards team that won the [[MLS Cup]] in 2000.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/wizards-win-mls-title/|title=Wizards Win MLS Title
|website=CBS News|date=15 October 2000|access-date=27 March 2024}}</ref>

==International career==
Mo Johnston made his debut with the [[Scotland men's national football team|Scotland national team]] in 1984 and played regularly under manager [[Andy Roxburgh]] following his appointment in July 1986.

He had been expected to make the squad for [[Mexico 86]] but was dropped by [[Alex Ferguson]] (caretaker manager until the end of the World Cup after the death of [[Jock Stein]] in September 1985) after a late night incident during Scotland's preparations for their play-off against Australia in November 1985, in which Johnston had disturbed a member of the coaching staff in his hotel room. In Ferguson's autobiography, ''Managing My Life'', which was published 14 years later, Ferguson stated that he had already warned Johnston about his conduct after he and teammate [[Frank McAvennie]] had bought drinks for themselves, fellow Scotland teammates and a group of young women in the hotel bar.

He played a part in getting Scotland to [[Italia 90]] but retired from international competition after their early elimination. He briefly returned to the national side team for several Euro qualifiers in late 1991 but got injured against Switzerland and finally, in 1992 after scoring 14 goals in 38 caps, permanently retired from the national team. He was in the starting lineup for all three of Scotland's matches in the [[1990 FIFA World Cup|1990 World Cup]], scoring a [[Penalty kick (association football)|penalty kick]] against [[Sweden men's national football team|Sweden]].

==Managerial career==
Johnston retired after the 2001 season, and from 2003 to 2005 was an assistant coach to [[Bob Bradley]] for the [[MetroStars]].<ref name="MetroStars fire Bradley as coach">{{cite web|title=MetroStars fire Bradley as coach|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/soccer/mls/2005-10-04-MetroStars-bradley-fired_x.htm|work=USA Today|access-date=18 October 2014|date=4 October 2005}}</ref> After Bradley was fired with three games left in the 2005 season, Johnston was named interim head coach.<ref name="MLS" >{{cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article708486.ece?token=null&offset=0&page=1 |title=The Big Interview: Maurice Johnston |date=23 April 2006 |work=The Times|access-date=2010-07-19 | location=London}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> With a record to end the season of two wins and a tie, he led the team to the playoffs and was promoted to the full-time position<ref>{{cite news|title=Johnston becomes MetroStars boss|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/4311196.stm|access-date=18 October 2014|work=BBC Sports|date=9 November 2005}}</ref> with re-branded [[New York Red Bulls]] after the season.
