Anthony Ralston, born on 16 November 1998 in Scotland, is a 1.82m (5ft 11in) tall and weighs 78kg (12st 3lb). This right-back defender is a stalwart at Celtic, donning the number 56 jersey and has made significant contributions to the team and Scotland's national side over the past years.

His valuation in the football market is approximately £1.5 million according to href="https://www.transfermarkt.com/anthony-ralston/profil/spieler/388171" class="external" target="_blank">Transfermarkt, a testament to his professional prowess on the field.

In July 2015, Ralston was loaned to Queen's Park in the Championship, Scotland. During his debut season 2015 - 2016, he made inroads into the first team, garnering ten appearances while also finding himself a spot on the score sheet once.

January 2016 saw Ralston return from Queen's Park, bringing him back to Celtic and arguably his most formative years. Throughout numerous seasons, spanning from 2015 to 2026, Ralston served the Hoops tirelessly. His appearances on the pitch have notably increased, peaking at 28 times during the season of 2021-2022 where he also scored four goals. His performances are a testament to his enduring commitment to Celtic.

In a series of loan spells, Ralston played for both Dundee United and St Johnstone, contributing effectively during his time at both clubs. He totted up 22 appearances for St Johnstone during the 2019 - 2020 season, an impressive figure considering the temporary nature of his contract. Despite these spells away from Celtic, Ralston's performances at his home club are what truly define his career.

Ralston has also represented his home country Scotland on a number of occasions, partaking in various national and international tournaments. These include the World Cup Qualifiers Europe, the European Championship, and the Nations League. His commendable performances across these highly competitive platforms highlight both his personal abilities and his commitment to football both for club and country.
