Anthony Ralston, a native of Scotland, was born on the 16th of November, 1998, making him 27 years of age at present. The robust defender, standing tall at 5ft 11in (1.82m) and weighing 12st 3lb (78kg), primarily occupies the position of a right back for Celtic Football Club, donning the number 56 jersey on the pitch. Besides his commendable club record, the Scot has also had the honour of representing his country's national football team.

As given on Transfermarkt, the current market value of Ralston stands at around €1.50m (approximately £1.27m).

In July 2015, Ralston momentarily shifted his allegiance from Celtic in the Premiership to Queen's Park in the Championship, on loan. Despite the brief tenure, he managed to make a considerable impact with ten first team appearances and a goal in league matches during the season 2015 - 2016.

Upon completion of his loan, Ralston returned to Celtic in January 2016. Ralston's several seasons at Celtic, leading up to the present 2025 - 2026 season, have seen an array of performances, with numerous first team appearances and a handful of notable goals to his credit. His versatility and persistent performances made him a valuable asset to the team.

There were two more loan spells during his time at Celtic, to Dundee United in the Premiership in March 2018, and to St Johnstone in the Championship in September 2019. Ralston made his mark at Dundee United and had a significant run at St Johnstone with 22 first team appearances during the 2019 - 2020 season.

His stints at these clubs further enhanced his experience and competency, following which he returned to Celtic each time, continuing his contribution to the club's success.

Alongside his club football career, Ralston has also participated in various competitions representing Celtic and Scotland's national team. These include the League Cup 2025 - 2026 and Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 for Celtic, World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024 - 2026 and Nations League 2024 - 2025 for Scotland, and Champions League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026 and Europa League 2025 - 2026 for Celtic, showcasing commendable performances and vital contributions throughout.
