Anthony Ralston, born on 16 November 1998 and currently 26 years old, hails from Scotland. Standing at 5ft 11in (1.82m) and weighing 12st 3lb (78kg), Ralston victoriously wears the number 56 jersey and primarily extends his skills as a right back for Celtic Football Club. In addition to his Celtic commitment, Ralston has also marked the Scotland national team's roster with his masterful defence.

As reported by Transfermarkt, his current market value is approximately £1.3m. His contract with Celtic set to run out on 31 May 2027, has 2 years and 2 months remaining as of the present day.

Ralston's first noteworthy change came in July 2015, when he transferred from Celtic to Queen's Park on loan. During his debut season (2015 - 2016) at Queen's Park, he made ten first team appearances and scored one goal in league matches before returning to Celtic at the conclusion of his loan in January 2016.

Anthony Ralston's relationship with Celtic is seasoned by an extended since his return in 2016. His appearances fluctuated from as few as one in the 2016 - 2017, 2019 - 2020, and 2020 - 2021 seasons to more substantial numbers such as his 28 appearances and four goals in the 2021 - 2022 season.

His time at Celtic was infiltrated by two more loan spells, at Dundee United in 2018, then later at St Johnstone in 2019, where he had 22 league appearances. However, the pull of Celtic remained strong, and Ralston returned, contributing to the squad regularly as exemplified by his 15 appearances in the 2023 - 2024 season and his 13 appearances with two goals in the current 2024 - 2025 season.

Ralston hasn't limited his ball skills to domestic fields and leagues. His international career is marked with participation for Scotland in competitions such as Euro 2024, where he had three starting appearances, whilst also being part of the Nations League 2024 - 2025 squad with eight starting appearances. On the Celtic front, he contributed in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 and the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025, and added to his European credentials with three substitute appearances in the 2024 - 2025 Champions League campaign.
