Anthony Ralston

He was our first defender to come to grips with the system. Popping up on the D or penalty spot to score a goal

A really underrated part of his game is his long passing. He has played some fantastic passes this season to Abada and Kyogo especially.

I feel annoyed because I still say “yeah he’s doing well, but...”.

I do think we can do better, we would really miss that commitment though.

 

Would love to have a few ten beers with him, for no other reason than I could get pished safe in the knowledge that big Tone would take care of business if any arseholes started their *.

 

I actually remember a few years back, during Rodgers last season, Ralston had a small run in the team where he looked great, best I can remember is he scored a good goal against Motherwell, then got injured shortly after.

Think the talent's always been there, but it's took a special manager to unlock it.

 

I'd love to buy him a beer and eat a big slice of humble pie in front of him whilst issuing him a drunken grovelling apology for being such a negative * toward him.

So much so is how he has turned around my opinion of him.

Without a shadow of a doubt THE most improved player thus far, and by FAR the one player who puts in the most commitment and effort match in match out.

 

Defiantly starts today for me, would rest him for midweek game, have firing on all cylinders for next weekend. Give Joe the 90min midweek at RB.

 

delighted with his development. If the manager can bring thru a few more of the young lads from the academy that would be brilliant for the next stage of the 1st team.

 

MOTM and it honestly wasn't even close, only player out there that looked willing to do anything.

 

That's a great post.

No matter what footballers get paid, as a young lad coming through playing for the team you love, some of the pelters he was getting in last couple years were extreme and surely must be tough to take, and difficult to avoid.

Brilliant seeing folk like him doing well, the picture of him, McGregor and MJ celebrating is inspiring.

If we win the league this year, it will be brilliant seeing lads like this celebrating again.

 

Has to be included in that Scotland squad on Tuesday. Just has to be.

 

Not all his crosses but a good lot just needed someone in the right position to tap them in. Again was very good

 

What, ahead of that world class right back Patterson? The boy who hardly ever plays. Not a chance

 

Thought he was the best player on the park again today, despite the result and overall team performance.

 

When we get a left back it’s going to take something special from Juranovic to get hithe RB position.

 

MOTM today

 

Head and shoulders the best player on the park today.

Could see at the end how gutted he was at the result. Was crouched down for a good few minutes shaking his head.

 

Excellent performance again. Can't believe the turnaround and he's miles better than juranovic.

 

Miles better than Croatia’s first choice right back who has only been here three months and is being shoe horned into left back? Behave yourself…

Couldn't give a flying * about Croatia, Ralston is better than the * that is playing for Scotland, so not sure how you gauge it.

Dropping Ralston would be as stupid as choosing Jokamakis as your pK taker.

Juranovic has looked pretty ordinary and that includes his rb appearances. Still wish he'd have taken today's pK mind you.

 

Excellent in the first half, was quieter in the second half but did nothing wrong. He put over some great crosses but there was no one there to take them. Reminded me of Tierney's excellent crosses that he used to put in low and hard, it was the same story often the striker would be far too slow to get on the end of them. Im not advocating the return of Leigh Griffiths but some of his crosses were crying out for a striker to make a run to the near post, Griffiths would bury those chances with his eyes closed. The jury is most certainly out on GG at the moment, very disappointing today but hopefully he can improve.
