Ryan Christie is currently dispensed and according to the Celtic manager that’s the only thing holding the player back.

After an emergency operation just hours after the Glasgow Derby defeat the midfielder has been back in training and will resume playing once his suspension is over.

🗣️ NL on Ryan Christie: "Injury wise he’s fine. He’s got a suspension but he’s back training. Hopefully once his suspension lifts he’ll be available to play."

Ryan was inexplicably punished by the SFA for grabbing Alfredo Morelos; an action the Colombian striker was caught doing to Christie in a previous game. Morelos was not pulled before an SFA panel then but Ryan was for his grab.

This meant the player landed a suspension and Celtic are unable to call upon him.

Tom Rogic started to look more like himself as the Partick Thistle game wore on and we hope he is in form against Kilmarnock on Wednesday. The bhoys visit Rugby Park where only three points will do to keep the pressure on.
