Born on the 16th of November 1998, Anthony Ralston is a native Scotsman who has left quite the impression on Scottish football. Standing at 5ft 11in (1.82m) and weighing 12st 3lb (78kg), Ralston has made his name as a solid right back for Celtic. He has also represented his country, being selected for the Scotland national team.

As a player, Ralston's capabilities are valued at approximately £1.3m, according to data from Transfermarkt.

His professional football career kicked off in July of 2015 when Celtic transferred him on loan to Queen's Park, a team in the second tier of Scottish football. During his initial season at Queen's Park, he made a total of ten appearances and scored a goal. However, by January of 2016, Ralston's loan had completed, and he returned to Celtic.

Over the course of numerous seasons following his return to Celtic, Ralston illustrated his commitment and talent. From 2015 to 2026, he made multiple appearances each season, the most notable being the 2021-2022 season where he clocked 28 appearances and netted four goals. This performance was followed by a series of sturdy appearances each season with contributions to the team's goal tally to boot.

His time at Celtic was punctuated with brief loans to other teams. In March 2018, he was loaned to Dundee United, though he returned to Celtic a few months later. Following a pattern, Ralston was loaned to St Johnstone in September of 2019, making a respectable 22 appearances before returning to Celtic in June of 2020.

Boasting an impressive list of participations, Ralston has featured in a variety of competitions for Celtic including the League Cup, Scottish Cup as well as the Europa League. Furthermore, he represented Scotland in the World Cup Qualifiers Europe. With such a solid track record at Celtic, it's no wonder Anthony Ralston is a recognisable figure on the green and white side of Glasgow.
