Some Celtic fans have been talking about the time when Anthony Ralston featured against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
Hoops-related page CeltsAreHere recently reminded fans of the time when Ralston had started at right-back against the French giants back in September 2017. This tweet left many Celtic fans talking and some felt that he didn’t have a bad game at all.
He actually played good tbf

Would you have Ralston back at Parkhead?
I'd have him back!
Never!
The sad thing is he was one of the newer players on the night. If the whole team had showed the spirit he showed, we could have lost by at least one less goal…

He made a smashing run up the right first half, won a good 50/50 then nearly scored…. Thought we had a real talent on our hands after that game, he showed some desire

Should never have been thrown into a game like that. Was the end of his celtic career before it even started.

The game at Parkhead finished 5-0 to PSG, who had ex-Arsenal boss Unai Emery in charge. The Parisians had Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani start up front. Cavani grabbed a brace, while the other two scored a goal each, with Mikael Lustig scoring an own-goal, too.
What do we think?
Ralston earned himself a WhoScored rating of 5.98, as he won three tackles and made six clearances. He completed one dribble and had a passing accuracy of 81%. It shows that the performance wasn’t such a bad one and some Celtic fans are right to recognise that.
