The midfielder has signed a new three-and-a-half-year deal at Celtic Park.

Some Celtic fans are urging the Bhoys to keep it up after tying down Olivier Ntcham and Ryan Christie in the space of a few days.

Christie followed his teammate in agreeing a new contract on Monday, having enjoyed a recent resurgence in the Celtic team.

The 23-year-old spent 18 months on loan to Aberdeen before the start of this season, but has scored or assisted six goals in 15 games since his return.

And while murmurs of interest from south of the border, with his contract due to expire in around six months’ time, Celtic have moved quickly to secure Christie’s services until 2022.

But delighted as they are with the news emanating from Celtic Park, the following Bhoys fans want deals too for Dedryck Boyata (the defender who is also out of contract in 2018), Filip Benkovic (Boyata’s partner who is on loan from Leicester City) and/or Patrick Roberts (the former loan winger struggling at new club Girona).

This is what is being said on Twitter…

How impressed have you been with Christie since the midfielder’s return to Celtic?
