John Hughes believes Ryan Christie could solve Scotland’s problem in attack, with the 23-year-old being in fine form of late. Christie has struggled for playing time at Celtic, but he’s impressed when called upon this season which could lead to him adding to his three caps for the Scotland national team.
With Leigh Griffiths having withdrawn himself from international duty in October and Steven Naismith currently injured and ruled out for two months, Scotland need a centre-forward for their upcoming Nations League double-header against Albania and Israel.
Hughes wants to see Christie given a chance to prove his worth to Alex McLeish next month, as he believes he can successfully operate up front and has a good relationship with the Scotland boss.
