Ryan Christie (born 22 February 1995) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder or winger[3] for Premier League club AFC Bournemouth and the Scotland national team.

[15] Christie's performances against Dundee, Motherwell, Celtic, Kilmarnock and Partick Thistle saw him win the SPFL Young Player of the Month for August.

Neil Lennon, who returned to Celtic as manager later in the season, said in July 2019 that he had wanted to sign Christie for Hibernian during the summer of 2018 as part of a proposed deal for John McGinn.

[30] In the 2018–19 League Cup semi-final against Hearts at Murrayfield, Christie won a penalty, caused a goalkeeping error and hit a "wonderful left-foot shot" leading to each goal in the eventual 3–0 victory.

[33] His season ended abruptly on 14 April 2019 in the Scottish Cup semi-final, again at Hampden against Aberdeen, when he suffered facial fractures in an aerial collision with opponent Dominic Ball, who was sent off for the reckless nature of the challenge.

[39] On 31 August 2021, Christie moved to England, joining Championship club AFC Bournemouth on a three-year contract, for a reported transfer fee of around £1.5 million.

[48] In September 2020, he scored penalties in successive matches as Scotland drew with Israel[49] and defeated the Czech Republic in the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League.

[50] In October 2020, Christie was required to pull out of the Scotland squad for a Euro 2020 play-off semi-final against Israel after being in close contact with Stuart Armstrong, who had tested positive for COVID-19.

[51] A month later, Christie returned to the team and scored Scotland's only goal in the Euro 2020 play-off final against Serbia; they won the tie on a penalty shootout after a 1–1 draw, qualifying for a major tournament for the first time in 22 years.

[52] Christie was a member of Scotland's squad for UEFA Euro 2020,[53] making one appearance at the tournament in the team's opening 2–0 defeat to the Czech Republic.
