Aberdeen FC can confirm this evening that Ryan Christie has signed on loan from Celtic until the end of the season.

The paperwork for the 21-year old midfielder has now been completed and he will train with his new teammates tomorrow morning.

Derek McInnes told afc.co.uk:

“I am delighted to get a player of Ryan’s quality into the club.

“We want to make a couple of additions in the January window – quality additions – and there is no doubt Ryan has the quality to come in and make an impact with us. Ryan can help us with the challenges that lie ahead during the second half of the season.

“I would also like to thank Brendan Rodgers and Celtic for assisting in getting the deal done.”
