Anthony Ralston responds to Ibrox turmoil

Anthony Ralston has dismissed any notion that Celtic are worried about their Glasgow rivals as the new season approaches. The Bhoys are set to return to Lennoxtown for their final preparations following an impressive pre-season tour of America, where they triumphed over DC United, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Following Celtic’s win against Chelsea on Saturday night, Ralston was asked for his thoughts on the problems facing their city rivals. Their stadium currently remains closed due to unfinished construction work, their manager is frustrated with a lack of investment and a number of players are looking to leave. Despite these distractions, Ralston assured fans that Celtic’s focus remains on their own game.

Ralston told RecordSport, “That’s what we’ve managed to do over the years. We don’t look at what’s happening elsewhere. We just focus on ourselves.” His comments underline a philosophy that has served Celtic well, helping them maintain a steady course in their quest for glory.

Celtic’s pre-season tour of America has been nothing short of spectacular. The team has shown its strength and depth, dismantling DC United, Manchester City and Chelsea. This run of form has undoubtedly boosted the team’s confidence as they prepare to defend their title.

With the competitive season fast approaching, every session counts. The squad appears united and focused, echoing Ralston’s sentiments about blocking out outside noise and focusing on their goals.

The Hoops are set to begin their campaign with a renewed sense of purpose. Ralston’s comments reflect a team that is grounded, experienced and ready to rise to the challenge once again.

While our rivals deal with internal problems, Celtic are keeping their eyes firmly on their target, a strategy that has brought them success in the past and one they hope will continue.
