The Celtic man found it difficult to make a big impact after starting for his country.
Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie did not have much joy on Monday evening after Scotland fell to a resounding 4-0 defeat to Belgium at Hampden.
The Hoops man, who is flourising under Neil Lennon currently, was a starter against the number one ranked side in the world.
That came after criticism of Steve Clarke’s decision not to play him against Russia on Friday night.
It was a massive opportunity to impress, but the quality of the Belgians ensured that no-one in a Scotland shirt had a particularly big impact.
Christie was nonetheless one of the brighter performers.
His probing pass allowed Andy Robertson to bear down on goal for what was one of the country’s best attacking opportunities of the match.
He was also one of the hardest working on the pitch, with not many of his compatriots showing the same kind of energy or willingness to dig out a result against an elite side.
From Celtic’s perspective, they’ll be most pleased he has come through the game without picking an injury given his incredible form for the Hoops of late.
He’s scored a massive eight goals already this season, also assisting five times.
Christie though will have to bounce back from the double header defeat along with his international teammates Callum McGregor and James Forrest.
