Celtic have still got a bit more to do if they are to get to the next round of the Europa League, but they’ve given themselves a great chance by taking a two nil lead to Holland next week.

The bhoys played some great stuff and rightfully won the game on the night against a decent Alkmaar side.

One man who was a contender for man of the match was Anthony Ralston. Kyogo got the nod because of his goal and assist but the defender was right up there and was praised on social media for his performance.

The defender was everywhere, defending when he had to and up the other end of the pitch taking it to the byline even in added time at the end of the game. His performances as of late have certainly caught the eye of the Celtic support.

The Hoops take a two nil lead to Alkmaar because of Anthony’s dedication and wherewithal to defend with his life. The one clip that sums up the player’s current form has to be the one below.

Alkmaar look on for a goal when the ball is flashed across the goal but Ralston quickly deals with it, smashing it away.

Long may his good form continue. Josip Juranovic is due to sign but he might have to wait his turn.
