Ryan Christie: 'I couldn't reject Celtic'

Ryan Christie has said that he could not turn down the chance to join Celtic.

New signing Ryan Christie has said that he "had to take" the offer of a move to Celtic.

The 20-year-old is following in the footsteps of his father Charlie Christie, who played for the Bhoys between 1987 and 1989.

"I think he was a bit stressed over the past few days, but he's delighted now it's finally gone through," Christie told reporters. "We've had a couple of chats to weigh up the pros and cons and it's definitely a move I had to take while I had the chance.

"He said he enjoyed it, although he found it hard to break in.

"Celtic was my dream club and dream move since I was a young boy. I've been a fan all my life, just through my dad."

The midfielder, who cost Celtic £500k, has been loaned back to Inverness Caledonian Thistle until the end of the season.
