Ryan Christie drops cryptic Celtic return hint on Instagram

Ryan Christie has dropped a potential hint on Instagram over his upcoming return for Celtic .

The midfielder hasn't featured since limping out of the 4-1 win over Motherwell in February.

Christie 's injury was the catalyst for the now-infamous goal the Steelmen scored after the Hoops expected the ball to be returned to them.

The 23-year-old has enjoyed his most prolific season to date with the Hoops, scoring 10 goals since bursting onto the scene as a sub during the Betfred Cup semi-final win over Hearts.

He's yet to play under interim boss Neil Lennon but, taking to Instagram, has perhaps dropped a hint that he's set for an imminent return.

Sunday's pivotal clash with Rangers may just come too soon for the Scotland international, but he can't be far off a return to action.
