Anthony Ralston

Has deserved a lot of praise this season, but today he wasn’t good enough.

 

The worst he’s played this season definitely

 

Has looked like the Tony of old the last 2 games against them I.e. out his depth against better sides. Has definitely contributed to our success this season but we badly miss JJ.

 

I'm done. He is not good enough to be our starting right back, he simply isnt. he can be the biggest celtic fan in the world but if he cant turn it on for a game like today then tough *, we need better.

 

He has Kent's number, although he was poor with the ball.

Love his physicality, but he isn't good enough to be a starter for Celtic.

 

I've said it before on here, he really needs to be playing more, he can't come in and out of the team and perform.

 

Really, really don't like him in this system. If I'm the opposition manager, then I'm targeting Ralston.

Stand by my ongoing opinion that he's not of the level required.

 

He was * defensively today and got skint.

Thing is he has not been starting all the time so maybe it’s just match sharpness.

 

His improvement this season has been incredible, and that goal against Ross County cannot be understated on how important it was.

Still, he's a player that needs a few games to get going, and that's a bit of an issue if he's back-up. I do think, at their best, there really isn't much between Juranovic and Ralston, but Juranovic is much more consistent and can be slotted straight back in, that's where my issue with Ralston is.

Still, he's had an over-all fantastic season and contributed lots.

 

I think there is a noticeable drop off in quality when compared with Juranovic.

But that's to be expected. Juranovic is the RB for Croatia, one of the world's top international teams.

Ralston can't even get into the Scotland squad.

It is what it is.

That said, he's had a great season and is a very capable deputy to Juranovic who can contribute much over the course of a season, particularly against all other SPL clubs.

 

Think Kent got past him at the start once but can’t remember it happening again?

 

It’s clear like Taylor he’s a good squad player but just not good enough if we want to keep improving, he struggled with Kent’s pace all game but he does add a good physicality to the side

At the end of the day he is replaceable.

 

Has done a great job this season but the difference between him and Juranovic has been evident the last couple of games.

A nice option to have on the bench but not a regular starter for me.

 

Were people not watching the game today? Wasn't the best on the ball but hardly gave Kent a sniff, didn't just stop him getting space to do things with the ball but actually kept going and taking the ball off him. Not exactly a sensational performance but in the context of some of the difficulties we had as a team today he was just fine.

 

* the lot of yezz tony * ralston​

 

Didn't have a great game today but did keep Kent out of the game.

Easy to say now but he was a big part of our early seasons success and arguably his goal at Ross County is why we we will win the league.

We wouldn't be were we are without the early season determination of him, Welsh and a number of others. It's easy to forget that and focus on Kyogo, Jota etc but they came later.

 

Think the criticism is a bit harsh here. Not an outstanding performance by any means, but not a terrible one either.

He was no worse than about 7/8 others today, for me. As a team we were pish.

 

Yeah, I’m aware of that and I’m delighted with the job he’s done this season. I just think his shortcomings are obvious when you compare him against Juranovic.

If he’s someone we can rely on to fill in when needed that’s more than I expected from him at the start of the season.

 

Back up right back who we had to call upon when 1st choice was injured and he's not as good. No biggie.
