    I think that is in part to being free to join the attack. Previously, including under Rodgers the full backs at times obviously had instructions to cover defensively.

    I think Ange has changed that significantly.

    Never been as bad as as what's been made out by most folk online. Wasn't like he ever had a real continuous run in the team; was quite early for him to be launched in against the likes of PSG. Early days but would love to see him continue to develop and improve. We need another right back but they don't walk into the team at the moment in my opinion.

    Ralston has earned himself a solid deputy RB position and I hope he gets putting Eddie to Shane in terms of goals.

    What a bloke. Takes no * from the media and always gives a fair and level headed assessment of the situations he's asked about.

    Love him :ange2:

    Another good game, very steady and not making any mistakes. He's never gonna be world class but delighted with his attitude and is looking like a solid backup now. Character in abundance.

    There was a covering run and clearing header he made late on that was outstanding defending.

    Can't fault him, so far he's been great, not sure how he will fare with a better caliber of player against him tho but he's grabbing his chance

    Not sure he was as good as frimpong but 100% better than Kenny and Toljan. So that is improvement right there. He has found his level in SPFL games. The type of player that will come in and breeze it after European games.

    I’d keep him even if a new RB comes in. It’s numbers we need and he is an improvement on 2/3 of our recent RBs. * he might even continue to improve?

    My worry like everyone else is he will come undone against a bigger side, similar to the Bitton at CB * that’s went on for far too long but has proven he is capable against Scottish sides.

    Again, fair play to him..

    Seized his chance and is growing in confidence, maybe be good back up option..

    Maybe Brendan was right :fear:

    Delighted with his form. I know he was the only option but he’s repaying Postecoglou with his performances.

    Who is this man and what’s he done with the real Tony Ralston. Tbh you’d find it hard for me to argue for dropping him. The New RB will need to fight for his place

    He's been excellent, whatever Ange is doing he's gettin the best out of him, one thing he needs to remove from his game is giving away silly fouls by diving in, other than that canny fault his performances of late.

    Wee flick ball's in to centre mid..

    He has to temper his challenges though. He followed through on his man that on another day could've seen us down to 10 men early on..

    His ability on the ball is improving every game. You can see he's quite confident now and starting to feel like more of a Celtic fullback..

    Before Ange it looked like he didn't have any self belief and it showed now he's playing under a manger who is showing him faith he seems to be settling in nicely to his role
