Ryan Christie has signed a new three-year deal with Celtic.
His sparkling recent performances with the league champions have been rewarded with a new deal that will keep him at Parkhead until 2022.
The former Aberdeen loanee, who started his career with Caley Thistle, had been out of contract at the end of the season and was linked with a move away from Celtic Park.
Inverness-born Christie was a transfer target for the Dons after impressing during two spells on loan at Pittodrie over an 18-month period.
He has used the departure of Moussa Dembele and injury to Leigh Griffiths to force his way back into Brendan Rodgers’ plans, scoring in the Betfred Cup semi-final win over Hearts and set up the winner for Odsonne Edouard in the Europa League against RB Leipzig.
Christie is in Alex McLeish’s Scotland squad for Uefa Nations League qualifiers against Albania and Israel, alongside former Dons team-mates Scott McKenna, Graeme Shinnie, Gary Mackay-Steven and Mikey Devlin, and could face them in the Betfred Cup final on December 2.
