Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie has just signed a new contract at Parkhead.
Christie has been sent out on loan by Celtic over the past two campaigns, with the youngster spending time with Inverness and Aberdeen.
But, this term, Christie has been able to make an impact with the Bhoys.
The 23-year-old has impressed all onlookers with his recent form of form, and has earned himself a new contract at Celtic.
And Christie says that he feels that he has worked hard on the weaknesses in his game, which Rodgers pointed out to him.
“It’s been amazing, I’ve had great run of games and I was delighted to keep myself in the squad,” said Christie.
“Signing a new contract is special way to top it off. When I first came in, the manager told he thought there was a physical side of my game that was lacking.
“Since then, I’ve worked really hard on that side of my game. Even when I was out on loan, the manager was always checking in with me, making sure I was improving. That’s definitely paying dividends now. I’ve come in, I’m maturing at the age of 23, and, as the manager says, I’m ready to make an impact.”
Christie has made 15 appearances for Celtic this term, across all competitions.
The youngster has three goals and three assists to his name during that time.
Christie now looks to have established himself as a key member of Celtic’s squad, and could feature again after the international break, when Rodgers’ side take on Hamilton.
