Ryan Christie wants to show the whole of Scottish football that he is still a good player after joining Aberdeen on loan from Celtic.

Injuries and the form of Celtic's key players restricted the 21-year-old to just seven first team appearances under Brendan Rodgers so far this season.

After deciding to join the Dons on loan, Christie has set out his goals for the remainder of the season.

He said: "I wouldn't say it's a point to prove but I would say I want to show not just Brendan [Rodgers] but the whole of Scottish football.

"Obviously it's been almost a full year now without a proper run of game time so it will be a nice feeling to have that back.

"I obviously want to prove to myself as well that I can still fit in and show people that I'm a good player."

Christie was one of Scottish football's brightest talents at Inverness CT and enjoyed a loan spell with the Highlanders after making to move to the Scottish champions.

After holding talks with Brendan Rodgers and Dons boss Derek McInnes, the forward was convinced to make the switch to Pittodrie.

"I look at Aberdeen as the second biggest team in Scotland right now," he told RedTV.

"In terms of all the other clubs in Scotland, Aberdeen were probably the only other one I would have joined."
