Celtic have told St Mirren that Anthony Ralston is not available in the January transfer window, according to The Daily Star.

It has been reported that Scottish Premiership rivals St. Mirren have made an enquiry about Ralston, but Celtic are claimed to have told them that he is not available.

Sensible decision

Ralston is a very talented and promising young right-back who has a bright future ahead of him.

The 20-year-old right-back is not guaranteed a place in the Celtic starting lineup, but the Scotland Under-21 international has got chances and he has taken them.

In the coming months and years, the youngster could establish himself as a key player for Celtic, who are aiming to win the Scottish Premiership title this season and are also in the round of 32 stage of the Europa League.

While a move to St. Mirren will see the youngster get more playing time, working under manager Brendan Rodgers and training with the Celtic first team is only going to make him a better player.
