Anthony Ralston, born on the 16th of November 1998, hails from Scotland. Known for his skill in defence, the right-back player has had a significant stint at Celtic, donning the number 56 jersey. Standing at 5ft 11in (1.82m) and weighing in at 12st 3lb (78kg), Ralston has proven his worth on both domestic and international turf, representing Scotland's national team.

According to Transfermarkt, Ralston's market value currently sits around a respectable £1.3m.

In July 2015, Ralston's career saw him loaned out from Celtic to Queen's Park. Despite the Championship side not being his permanent home, he confidently made his mark with ten first team appearances and a goal to his name during the 2015 - 2016 season.

January 2016 marked the end of Ralston's loan spell with Queen's Park, and he returned to Celtic, eager to make an impression. Calculating his performances from the 2015-16 season through to the 2025-26 term, Ralston has consistently delivered for the club. His steady rise is mirrored in his first team appearances, which saw a dramatic increase from a single appearance in both the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons, to a commendable total of 20 in the current season.

It wasn't all smooth sailing for Ralston at Celtic, however. In March 2018, he found himself on loan at Dundee United. His return to Celtic in June of the same year marked the beginning of a consistent spell rooted in the heart of the club's defence.

Despite a successful period at Celtic, Ralston found himself on loan again in September 2019, this time with St Johnstone. Nonetheless, he managed to make 22 first team appearances for the Championship outfit in the 2019-20 season.

June 2020 marked his return to Celtic from St Johnstone. His subsequent seasons in the fold at Celtic have yielded a consistent run of first team appearances, indicative of Ralston's integral role within the club's defensive line.

Beyond domestic football, Ralston has also left a mark in various football tournaments, with active participation in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Celtic, the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 for Celtic, as well as the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024 - 2026 for Scotland. He also featured in the Champions League Qualifiers and the Europa League for the 2025 - 2026 season, further underscoring his significance in both his club and country's defensive line-up.
