ANGE POSTECOGLOU says that Anthony Ralston has a potentially worrying ankle injury after the right-back was forced off in the win over Hearts.
Ralston went over on his ankle as he crossed for Kyogo’s controversial winner in the first half of the game, and Postecoglou is concerned he may be sidelined for some time.
Stehen Welsh and Jota were also forced off with injuries during the match, but the Celtic manager is more optimistic about their situations.
“We will get a round up from the medical people,” Postecoglou said.
“Tony felt something in his ankle which is disappointing because he’s been outstanding for us.
“With the others, I’m not really sure but we’ll see how they come through.
“It’s always a worry but that’s why we’ve got a squad.
“I’m pleased. We started the game well and played it on our terms.
“We lacked a bit of a ruthless edge and couldn’t get that second goal.
“We lost some players during the game which I think disrupted it.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
