Ralston ready to use Champions League know-how at Euros published at 17:43 6 June
Anthony Ralston says he is using Champions League experience with Celtic to prepare for Scotland's Euro 2024 campaign.
The 25-year-old, who was named in Steve Clarke's provisional squad, has not featured in a European match at club level since 2022.
However, having turned out in multiple campaigns in the Champions League and Europa League, Ralston believes his continental know-how can make a difference in Germany.
"It's about taking experiences you've had over the course of your career," he said.
"I've been lucky enough to have been involved in environments and games like that [the Champions League] where it's at the top level, you need to be on top of your game.
"We're lucky that we've got a lot of boys who have played at that level and we've got a lot of experience as well.
"It's the type of games you need to bring all of that, be fully focused and be 100% ready."
When asked how much it would mean to make Clarke's final squad, which will be trimmed from 28 to 26 players on Friday, Ralston added: "It would mean a hell of a lot.
"It's something when you grow up as a young boy, watching tournaments on the TV, you can only dream of being part of one and you work your full career to be in the position to be part of it."
