Ryan Christie celebrated his match winning performance agaist Hearts by dropping a donation into his local Salvation Army shop.
Sunday’s hero didn’t overdo the celebrations with a drop off at the charity shop hardly fitting in with the image of a big time footballer.
Look who popped in today with a donation for us.. Ryan Christie, Celtic starlet and man of the match yesterday. He was gracious enough to pose for a wee photo ????

Christie has had to be exceptionally patient to make his mark at Celtic with three loans stints at Inverness and Aberdeen finally putting him in line for a first team place.
Brendan Rodgers gave the 23-year-old a starting place in midweek against RB Leipzig but Christie was back on the bench at Murrayfield as Celtic lined up against Hearts in the semi-final of the Betfred Cup.
When Olivier Ntcham felt a twinge in his hamstring Brendan Rodgers turned to Christie who made a devastating impact over 45 minutes.
After being fouled for a penalty he had a 50% assist with Zdenek Zlamal for the second goal credited to James Forrest before Christie curled in a brilliant third goal to seal Celtic’s place in the final.
