Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes has expressed his willingness to work with Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie on a permanent basis if the opportunity arises.
The 46-year-old remains hopeful that the Bhoys will allow their young midfielder to make his loan move permanent.
Christie has been a key part of Aberdeen’s plans. He has twice been farmed out – first on loan during the 2017 January transfer window and then on a season-long loan spell in the summer.
According to reports from the Daily Record, the 23-year-old will enter the final year of his Parkhead contract.
