Brendan Rodgers has revealed that Anthony Ralston is an injury concern for Wednesday’s match against St Mirren.
The right-back picked up the Man of the Match award in the 3-0 win over Airdrie United/Clydebank but also an ankle knock in the closing stages.
Ralston was starting just his third match of the season but picked up where he left off in the impressive displays against Motherwell and Dundee.
????? BR: “We’ll need to assess @anthonyralston8. He might be struggling with his ankle as he twisted it at the end of the game but the squad is pretty much the same.” #CELSTM

If Ralston is unable to make it Mikael Lustig will be recalled to the starting XI as Celtic look to put some points on the board with three home matches in eight days.
Kieran Tierney, Olivier Ntcham and Odsonne Edouard will all be absent on Wednesday night with Tom Rogic still on international duty at the Asian Cup.
St Mirren visit the champions boosted by a 3-2 Scottish Cup win over Alloa after being 2-0 down and reduced to ten men in the first half.
