RYAN Christie is looking forward to meeting up with Scotland for a friendly against Turkey tomorrow evening (kick-off 5pm) – even if it is “strange timing” according to the winger.
Ryan Christie said: “I always love going up and meeting with Scotland. Seeing all the other boys again and representing your country, there’s nothing like it. So, yeah, obviously a bit of a strange timing for it, but I’m sure everyone will be going there excited to play for our country again, to come together as a group again.”
Christie will be arriving at the Scotland camp in high spirits, helping Cherries to two wins over Everton prior to the pausing of club football. Prior to Saturday’s 3-0 win over the Toffees, Cherries had lost four Premier League games on the bounce. The former Celtic man believes that the three points earnt will leave everyone at Cherries with a smile on their face, whilst also leaving them keen to get going again after the World Cup finishes towards the end of December.
Ryan Christie added: “It was huge. Gaz (Gary O’Neil) I think going into the game, he was desperate for us to finish with three points. It sends everyone away from this period and going into the break all happy and positive and looking forward to getting back into it. So we did just that. Again, after two frustrating results and performance, so I think we’re delighted.”
Members of the Cherries squad not on international duty will have two weeks off before the club fly out to Dubai for a week-long warm weather camp, according to the Athletic. The report adds whilst in the United Arab Emirates, they will face Belgian outfit Royal Antwerp in a friendly.
