Ryan Christie has released a gruesome picture of his post-operation face.
A week after Dom Ball of Aberdeen smashed into the side of his face his eye is barely open from the swelling, there are stitches under his eye socket with bruising still evident on the left side of his face.

The midfielder needed six minutes of treatment as he lay on the turf at Hampden before having to wait until Thursday for surgery on multiple facial fractures.
Despite initial hopes that he would be back in action for the Scottish Cup Final on May 25 against Hearts Neil Lennon has now ruled that option out.
Tom Rogic replaced Christie at Hampden with Olivier Ntcham starting yesterday’s 0-0 draw away to Hibs that leaves Celtic requiring four points from their last four matches.
Celtic are next in action at lunchtime on Saturday when they will be looking to take full points ahead of trips to Pittodrie and Ibrox.
As well as grabbing opponents by the balls this seems to be part of Stevie MacLean’s matchday routime.https://t.co/rOkVdw6Z4O
