Ryan Christie became the first Celtic player to both score and assist in a European group game since 2009 in the 2-1 Europa League victory against Lazio last night.

The midfielder helped draw the Hoops level in the 67th minute with a great strike before turning provider in the 89th minute.

French centre-back Christopher Jullien rose highest to head in Christie’s perfect cross into the box, ensuring Celtic secured a first win against an Italian side since October 2007 and avoided defeat in their opening three games of a Europa League campaign for the first time since 2014-15.

Former Hoops star Tony Watts was impressed with the performance of the 24-year-old, and here is how he reacted on Twitter:
