Ryan Christie

Ryan Christie was used more as a squad option than a fixed starter for Bournemouth in the 2025-26 Premier League season, making 26 appearances but only nine starts. His two goals gave him some attacking output from a central midfield role, though the 17 substitute appearances point to a player trusted for rotation and game management rather than built around. Three yellows and one red also made discipline a small part of the season profile.

Christie’s career path moved from Inverness CT to Celtic, included a productive loan spell at Aberdeen, and then took him to Bournemouth. The available season-by-season data shows his Celtic peak as a goalscoring midfielder in 2019-20, when he recorded 11 goals, followed by five in 2020-21. At Bournemouth, the scoring numbers settled into a lower range, with two goals recorded in each of the last two listed seasons.

Christie’s transfer record was defined by loans before his permanent exit from Celtic. He had temporary spells at Inverness CT and Aberdeen, returned to Celtic from both, then left for Bournemouth on an undisclosed fee in August 2021. The move took him from Celtic into the English system and eventually to a Premier League role, but the data points more to a controlled career step than a fee-driven trading pattern.
