ANTHONY RALSTON has surprised many this season. Many Celtic fans wrote him off, but this season’s emergence has proven many wrong.
The right-back has become a fan favourite and has been given the nickname ‘The Bricky’.
Participating in Celtic’s Twitter Q and A, Tony said he knew the patter and found it amusing.
"The fans seem to love it! I find it funny and happy to go along with it. Some of the memes are a good laugh!"

The turnaround was unthinkable a year ago. The full-back was watching Jonjoe Kenny play ahead of him.
However, Ralston used this as motivation for his success this year. He was a starter throughout the first half of the season, and he was then rewarded with a long-term contract at Celtic.
Postecoglou had voiced his praise for the player on several occasions.
After being snubbed from numerous Scotland squads, Steve Clarke finally called Ralston up to the team and handed him his national team debut.
Ralston opened up on his ‘massive moment’ which made his family proud.
"It was an honour. It's a massive moment for any player to represent their country so to be able to say I've got my first cap for @ScotlandNT is something I'm very proud of. A proud night for myself and my family."

Q and A’s like these are brilliant ways for fans to engage with the players. Hopefully, another one is lined up for next week.
