Ryan Christie earns Celtic a windfall as Bournemouth grab dramatic Premier League promotion

Scotland star Ryan Christie and his Bournemouth team-mates clinched Premier League promotion on a night of drama against Nottingham Forest.

Former Celtic star Christie swapped Glasgow for England's south coast last summer in the hope of blazing a trail into the top-flight.

A last-gasp victory over Nottingham Forest, featuring international team-mate Scott McKenna, was enough to confirm the Cherries are going up.

And it will reportedly land Celtic a £2million windfall thanks to a clause in the former Inverness youngster's contract.

The Parkhead side parted company with the 26-year-old for a cut-price fee in September 2021 as he approached the end of his contract but add-ons triggered by Bournemough winning promotion bag the club a further cash boost.

Christie started for Scott Parker's side on a huge evening for the club as they left late to secure the most precious of three points.

Sub Kieffer Moore struck with just seven minutes remaining following a cleverly worked free-kick.

Phillip Billing looked set to shoot from the edge of the box but he laid off for the lurking Moore to sweep home a first-time right-footed shot.

The promotion means Christie will become the latest Scot to ply his trade in the Premier League.

He will join the likes of Andy Robertson, Kieran Tierney, John McGinn, Che Adams and Scott McTominay in expanding the strong Scottish contingent down south.
