Celtic’s Ryan Christie has been in excellent form so far this season for Brendan Rodgers’ side.

Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie has told the Scotsman that he doesn’t know why his career seems to be taking off.

Christie was loaned out at Celtic over the past two seasons, but Brendan Rodgers has called him into the first-team this term.

The youngster has caught the eye, and pushed his way into Scotland’s national team recently.

And the Celtic man admits that even he doesn’t know what has clicked to make him succeed.

“I don’t know what has been the trigger for everything that’s happened for me over the past month,” Christie said.

“I got the chance to play in the League Cup semi-final for Celtic at Murrayfield, scored a goal which ignited my confidence a bit. It gave me purpose and the feeling I can make an impact at Celtic.

“It has been a crazy month for me. But that is how football works these days – there are so many games that things can change so quickly. I was delighted to sign the new contract at Celtic and then I’ve played in the two Scotland games against Albania and Israel, which were brilliant.”

Scotland have enjoyed an excellent international break, winning games against Albania and Israel.

Christie played his part in both successes, with the Celtic man earning credit for his performances.

The 23-year-old has now made 15 appearances for Celtic across all competitions, scoring three times and claiming three assists.

Celtic are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Hamilton.
