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 Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
