Christie named in latest Scotland squad

Ryan Christie has been named in the latest Scotland squad for their upcoming fixtures, which include a huge opportunity to reach this year's FIFA World Cup. 

Steve Clarke's side currently have four fixtures in the calendar for June, but a win over Ukraine in the World Cup play-off semi-final will see them meet Wales for a straight shoot out to book their place in Qatar this November. 

The match would see Christie come up against Cherries teammates, Chris Mepham and Kieffer Moore, who were both named in Rob Page's Wales squad on Thursday morning. 

Following their World Cup qualifiers, Scotland will then take on Armenia both home and away, while also facing the Republic of Ireland in the Nations League to kick off Group B1. 

Christie will be looking to add to the 26 caps he currently has for his country.
