I remember the last time we got excited about a Scotsman called Ryan.
Very true. He'll find most games in the Championship are played at a higher intensity than just playing Rangers a few times a season.Obviously he'll have to up his game playing at a higher level.
As someone who has watched Ryan Christie from his first match in Celtic colours, to his last, all I'll say is good riddance, a player who flatters to deceive and obviously thinks he's far better than his skill level suggests.
Don't get me wrong, if he had knuckled down at Celtic and tried to improve his game, he had the potential. Instead, he believed his own hype and stagnated.
Ryan Christie's level is playing cannon fodder in the Vanarama reserve cup or whatever mickey mouse cup the English lower leagues play, where undoubtedly he will shine, Just don't expect him to turn up when it matters the most at the business end of the season against your main rivals.
Edit : just to add. If he was so good from an international point of view, take a look at the Scotland midfield v England a few weeks back.

So he does have the potential?....oh well that's great to hear... thanks for sharing...he probably realised he was stagnating tbf....I'm sure he'll thrive with us...As someone who has watched Ryan Christie from his first match in Celtic colours, to his last, all I'll say is good riddance, a player who flatters to deceive and obviously thinks he's far better than his skill level suggests.

Mate, you are seriously going down the route of trying to belittle the standard of football over here? By signing for a championship club he’s now playing a higher standard of football, so perhaps this will get the best out of him.As someone who has watched Ryan Christie from his first match in Celtic colours, to his last, all I'll say is good riddance, a player who flatters to deceive and obviously thinks he's far better than his skill level suggests.

Sounds decent enough to me......
He's here to compete with 6 or 7 attacking midfielders for 3 maybe 4 spots in the team. No idea where he'll fit in that pecking order as yet.
Have to take anything from Scottish football with a pinch of salt but his statistics are reasonable.
It wasn't that long ago the daily record were raving about him and linking him to Arsenal. Now clearly that was exaggerated, but it contrasts interestingly what Celtic fans are saying now!
Its clear we needed something in that department though, he seems a slightly different type of player to Marcondes or Brooks. Lets have a look at him.
I've missed the obligatory car park shot from Arter.... it'll be nice for someone to take on that mantle.Most of what they say is that he takes too many wayward shots from outside the box. That must be why Howe turned them down.

Hope the Denmark v Scotland match is on tele tonight!
