Some Celtic fans are raving about the performance of Ryan Christie after he got another goal for himself in the club’s 2-1 win over Hamilton in the Scottish Premiership last night.
The Hoops played out what could be a crucial game in the race for the Premiership title last night. They picked up a 2-1 win, with Scott Brown coming up with a stoppage-time winner after Marios Ogkmopoe had scored what was an equaliser in the 90th minute of the game.
Brown got a last-ditch winner in the second minute of stoppage time, while Ryan Christie had got another goal for himself in the 13th minute of the game (BBC).
Some Hoops fans are hailing the midfielder as he now has three goals in two league games for the club.
Celtic fans: Is Christie the best player in Scotland today?

Defo Ryan Christie. Untouchable in Scotland at mo, just watch him in a game, more than just scoring goals; doing it in Euro & Internationals as well.

Christie has been in supreme form so far this season for the Hoops. He has been involved in four goals in the last two league games, also scoring once in the recent Europa League clash against French side Rennes.
So far this season, Christie has scored 16 times in all competitions. He also has ten assists to his name, while playing 28 games in total.
This is an improvement from last season when the midfielder was involved in only 20 goals while playing 38 games in total.
Christie joined the Parkhead-based side from Inverness in the summer of 2015 for a fee of £500,000. Since joining the club, Christie has played 79 times in all competitions. During this time, he has scored 29 goals and has racked up 20 assists as well.
What do we think?
Christie’s numbers have grown rapidly since last season and that is a huge sign of how much progress he has made under Neil Lennon. He has become one of the best players in Scotland and he is only 24 currently.
With the Hoops now two points clear above Rangers in the table, Christie will be key to help them win the title. Not just that, he will be crucial for Scotland to take them into the Euros.
