Anthony Ralston signs Celtic contract extension as reward for early season heroics

In-form Anthony Ralston has completed his Celtic revival after penning a three year contract extension at Parkhead.

Ralston's Celtic career looked to be over at the end of the Premiership season last term, however he was offered a one-year-deal to remain under Ange Postecoglou.

Having struggled for game time in Glasgow's east end and on loan at St Johnstone and Dundee United the agreement was a surprise to fans.

However, he 22-year-old has grabbed his chance under the Australian and has claimed the right-back slot for himself at the club.

He has become a cult hero with the supporters and has netted four goals so far this term in his new attacking full-back role.

The Lennoxtown academy graduate has played for the Hoops since the age of eight but has made his breakthrough into the first-team picture this term.

Ralston would have been able to talk to clubs from January, but Celtic Park chiefs have moved to warn off any pre-contract suitors with a fresh agreement.

The deal will take the defender through to the summer of 2025.
