“Best player tonight”: Celtic fans credit surprise Man of the Match | OneFootball

Having gotten over the shock of last night, the dust has settled with a few – not all – Celtic fans willing to give credit where credit is due.

There were players in last night’s clash who seemed to put more effort into the warmup. Odsonne Edouard, especially, was a huge culprit of doing so; disgusting, really, when you think of the magnitude of the game not only for the club financially, but for Edouard to improve his pedigree as a potential Champions League match winner.

Instead, it was the players who usually get the absolute pelters given to them on a match day who turned up. Callum McGregor impressed as per, but there was one inclusion who fans would never have guessed to be there; Anthony Ralston.

Having put in two very mediocre appearances over the course of the last seven days, fans were recoiling at news of Ralston being included in the first XI. Granted, it wasn’t Ange’s fault as the board literally had six months to replace Jeremie Frimpong, but Ralston ended up producing one of the games of his life, unfortunately ending in defeat as he tried to prove himself to Ange Postecoglou.

Looking at the reaction of the fans after the game, it seemed only right that Ralston was given credit where credit was due, following his criticisms over the course of July.
