Anthony Ralston was a standout player as Scotland beat Armenia 2-0 in the Nations League tonight. The Celtic full-back started the game over Aaron Hickey in the wake of Scotland’s defeat to Ukraine last Wednesday and he immediately stood out, offering the kind of performances that saw him reinvented under Ange Postecoglou.
The player couldn’t hide his delight speaking to Premier Sports after the game. The 23-year-old opened the scoring for Scotland after 28 minutes finding himself on the end of an excellent Stuart Armstrong cross and guiding a header into the back of the net.
“I enjoyed every minute of it, an amazing experience, I’m just happy I contributed to the team in a positive way”

Ralston will be hoping to start the game against Ireland in Dublin on Saturday with Steve Clarke’s team looking for another three points. The player was rightfully awarded MOTM after the game.
