Celtic star Ryan Christie comes clean over toilet roll challenge as he admits it was a FLUKE

CELTIC star Ryan Christie has confessed that it took him “maybe half an hour” of trying before he was able to record his toilet roll challenge – and when he finally did it was a FLUKE.

The Parkhead ace has tried his hand at the social media keepy-uppy craze, exchanging passes with pal Calum Ferguson in his flat, before sending the toilet roll looping into a miniature basketball net on the back of his door.

Speaking to the club’s official website, though, he admitted he certainly didn’t manage it on the first take.

The 25-year-old said: “I don’t have a number. It took us about 20 minutes, maybe half-an-hour, which I didn’t think was too bad!

“This was before the lockdown, so my mate was visiting and we decided to do it just before he left. He was leaving at around three o’clock, so we started it at around half-two. We’d set ourselves that time limit and we managed to do it.

“To be fair, though, the one we shared was a bit of a fluke – the plan was for him to header it in at the end. I told him to go beside the net, but my shot went straight in. So we took that!”

Group chats, telephones and games consoles have proved invaluable as players keep in touch with their team-mates during the COVID-19 crisis.

He said: “You keep in touch in whichever ways you can.

“Besides the group chats, a few of us have been playing the PlayStation.

“A bit of FIFA, a bit of Fortnite, a bit of Call of Duty: Warzone. I’m decent at FIFA, but I’m hopeless at the other two.

“I’m still to get a victory in Warzone, so that’s a bit of a sore spot for me.”

The Scotland midfielder, who would have been in action against Israel tonight, threw his support behind his team-mates when it comes to the importance of adhering to official government advice. Christie said: “To echo the manager, Broony, and the feeling of all the boys and everyone involved at the club, we just want everyone to keep being safe.

“The more we can listen to the advice of the government and health officials, then the sooner it’ll all be over. If we dig in, we’ll get through it soon enough.

“Everyone is in isolation at the moment. Maybe you’re on your own, or living with family or friends, but while everyone is on their own, it’s a weird feeling, because there is a real sense of togetherness as well.

“These are uncertain and scary times, but when you’re watching the news, you do have a sense that everybody in the country is watching the screen at the same time.

“There is a strange unity to it all, I suppose.

“So, as long as everyone is staying safe, keeping in touch with each other and checking in, then I’m sure we can get through it.”
