12 months ago there was a Celtic exit on the cards for Anthony Ralston - now he wants to help Scotland reach its first World Cup since 1998.The right-back has enjoyed the best season of his career, emerging from outcast to key player at Parkhead under Ange Postecoglou this term.He's won the League Cup and Premiership title in a 2021/22 season where he appeared 47 times with five goals and nine assists.Ralston's Celtic rise was highlighted through the season with a maiden call to Steve Clarke's Scotland squad, holding one cap to his name.Now the Lanarkshire star - who attended Airdrie's All Saints primary school - is competing with the likes of Wishaw's Stephen O'Donnell for an international place next month.Scotland will need to beat Ukraine and Wales to reach Qatar 2022 this winter as they look to build upon qualification for Euro 2020.It's been a remarkable term for the Bellshill-born defender but helping book Scotland's place in the World Cup could be the cherry on the cake.He said: "I made my Scotland debut and for every player, that’s something that’s a landmark in their career that they want to it.
I’m delighted I was able to.“It’s maybe something that last season I didn’t think would come around. There’s been many things and now I’m looking forward to the summer."Maybe there will be the opportunity to go away with my country again which would be something I’ve worked hard to get.“There’s a lot going on.
Maybe when I get a bit of time it will be something I’ll be able to look back on and reflect.”Follow Lanarkshire Live Sport onTwitter via@LanLiveSport, like us onFacebookor find us onInstagramfor the latest sports news, pictures and video.
