RYAN Christie is set to return to the Celtic side in the cinch Premiership match against St Mirren at Parkhead this afternoon.

The Scotland playmaker missed the Premier Sports Cup last 16 game against Hearts on Sunday and the Europa League play-off match against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night.

The 26-year-old, who has been in outstanding form so far in the 2021/22 campaign, suffered a minor knock in the 3-0 win over Jablonec last week. 

But Postecoglou said: “Ryan Christie has trained the last couple of days, so he’s available.”

The return of Christie is a major boost to Celtic ahead of their rematch with AZ in the Netherlands on Thursday night.
