Celtic star Anthony Ralston responds to ‘Messi or Neymar’ poser and Hoops fans are all saying the same thing
NEYMAR or Lionel Messi? That was one of the questions posed to Celtic star Anthony Ralston in an online Q&A.
And Hoops fans certainly aren't surprise with his choice!
The right-back has experienced a whirlwind year at Parkhead after breaking into Ange Postecoglou's side last season and establishing himself as a key player in his side.
His rise in form came as a huge shock to most, if not all, Celtic supporters after a couple of disappointing loan spells with Dundee United and St Johnstone.
At one point it looked like his time was up in Glasgow, but he stayed determined and focused to prove his worth to the Parkhead faithful.
But despite him failing to make his mark for several years, in 2017 he was once the name on every fans' lips.

Aged just 18 at the time, the young right-back was handed a surprise start against PSG in the Champions League under Brendan Rodgers - where he faced off against the Samba star Neymar at Celtic Park.
It was a night to forget for the Hoops as they were thrashed 5-0 by the French giants - their worst home result since 1895.
But it will always be remembered as the night that Ralston laughed in tried to make a fool of the Brazilian star.
The Hoops and Scottish youngster got torn into Neymar as he showed he wasn't afraid fazed by him.

Neymar didn’t like that rough treatment and took the huff, but Ralston laughed off his reaction.
It didn't quite go to plan with PSG 3-0 up, but it led Neymar to snub his handshake at full-time.
Now five years after that infamous night at Parkhead, he has revealed he prefers Messi over his now-PSG teammate.
And Celtic hilariously used a photo of the incident between the pair as the image of Neymar for the question as Ralston took part in a game of "this or that?"
Fans weren't surprised by his answer as one laughed: "Bro really got asked Messi or Neymar."
Another replied: "Neymar. 😂😂🙈"
Somebody joked: "The photo they used 😂"
Speaking on the incident with Neymar after the match in 2017, Ralston said: “If that is the case, and that is the way he wants to be, then fine. I don’t care.
“Everybody is different, so I won’t lose any sleep over it. It wasn’t a big deal. I won’t dwell on that too much.
“I didn’t fear the likes of Neymar. I just knew I had to play my normal game.
“I prepared for facing him the way I’d prepare for any normal match.
