The Motherwell man, who competed at the last Euros for Scotland, has his say on right-back dilemma facing Steve Clarke
Scotland international Stephen O'Donnell reckons Anthony Ralston handling the weight of big games at Celtic gives him the edge over Ross McCrorie to start in the pressure cooker of next week's Euro 2024 opener against Germany.
O'Donnell knows Clarke faces a dilemma over who to start at right-back with injuries to Nathan Patterson and Aaron Hickey ruling them out of the tournament. Tonight's friendly at Hampden could give an indication on who will be at the forefront of Clarke's thoughts.He told Lanarkshire Live Sport : "I'd tip Tony to play. He has played a number of times for Scotland and always performed well.
"He maybe hasn't been involved as much for Celtic towards the end of the season, but he was training right up to the cup final so he would have been working a bit longer than Ross in the Championship, which finished a bit earlier.
