Anthony Ralston is playing well for Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic at the moment.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has told the club’s official website that he is pleased with how Anthony Ralston is playing at the moment.

Ralston featured for Celtic in their 3-0 win against Dundee at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon.

The 20-year-old right-back also played during the Hoops’ 3-0 victory over Motherwell in Glasgow in the league last Wednesday evening.

Celtic manager Rodgers has said that he is pleased with the performances of Ralston, and believes that he is back to where he wants to be following his recovery from injury.

“I thought Tony Ralston was very good,” Rodgers told Celtic’s official website. “He’s now back to where I want him to be.

“He wasn’t at that level for a period of time because of his injury but he’s worked so hard. He came into the game and defended very well.”
