Celtic boss Neil Lennon has revealed that he wanted to sign Ryan Christie when he was the manager of Hibernian.
Last summer, Celtic were heavily interested in signing John McGinn from Hibs. Lennon wanted Celtic to inclide Christie as a part of the deal.
The 24-year-old at that time was struggling to get into Brendan Rodgers’s side, and was facing an uncertain future at the club.
The midfielder was thinking of leaving the Bhoys and the Scottish champions felt it would have suited all parties involved.
However, Aston Villa signed McGinn and Christie stayed on at Celtic Park.
