Career
Johnstone played club football for Abercorn (at least between 1886 and 1891, as he is documented as making several representative appearances for Renfrewshire while with the Paisley club in that period) and also played for them in the inaugural season of the Scottish Football League in 1890–91 – they also reached the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup that year.[1] Johnstone made one appearance for Scotland in 1888.[2] He later emigrated to the United States.[2]
