    Hard, hard watch. Almost get away with it when we are firing on all cylinders not when we are underperforming. He cant be near our bench if we want to be a serious club.

    He killed a lot of attacks today, especially as we were chasing a winner. I never see a lack of effort from him but it's that lack of quality that lets him down.

    He's abysmal..

    If Donovan isn't in til Johnston is back, try Simpson Pusey out there..

    It's not his fault he's not good enough, always gives it his all but he's miles off it. Johnston with Donovan backup. 18 months left on Ralston's deal so should be time up.

    Please, please put a stop to this. He’s so unbelievably limited as a footballer he should be nowhere near playing games for Celtic. Tbh he’d be incredibly fortunate to even get into another premiership team. Championship level footballer at absolute best.

    He used to at least have decent delivery into the box but he doesn’t even seem to put in any even half decent crosses now. Was actually cringing for him near the end when he tried to beat his man and was so slow/* he ended up slide tackling just to try get something into the box.

    He's a player that needs a run of games to get going. We know he's not proper first team star level for us, but he always gives it the full effort and he's rarely the worst on the park

    Rarely the worst on the park for us? Not sure about that.

    He used to have the odd splitting ball. Tried one and went miles out the park for a goal kick..

    Watching him late on trying to go by his man with the ball was genuinely toe curling. Falling flat on his * trying to go outside, again and again..

    Similar to what Taylor gave. 100% commitment and attitude.
    He is what he is, but Johnston is a far better option.

    Taylor is light years ahead of Ralston as a footballer. Not even close.

    At the end of the day, even decent players aren’t going to want to sit on our bench 90% of games but we really need to get him to *. Donovan and AJ would be fine.

    I wasn't comparing them as players.
    I said Ralston gave what Taylor did, 100% effort and commitment.
    At no point did I say they were of a similar ability.

    Said this the other day he shouldn’t get back in the squad now that we have Donovan and he shouldn’t be anywhere near it.


    Only reason he’s still at the club is the homegrown rule.

    Someone did try and say Ralston and AJ weren’t far off in ability.

    Ralston and Donovan are far never mind AJ.

    Was very poor today, normally he plays to the best of his ability but he didn’t get out of first gear today.

    I just hope to * he's not our RB when we play the diets as that wee winger will tie him in knots.
