Ryan Christie discusses social media abuse after Livingston tackle | OneFootball

Celtic star Ryan Christie has been the subject of abuse on social media after he was sent off for a shocking tackle on Livingston’s Scott Robinson.

Of course, Celtic went on to lose 2-0, so Christie drew massive criticism from both sets of supporters for his actions.

Fortunately for the 24-year-old, he doesn’t regularly check his mentions, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t heard what was said through the grapevine.

“For me personally, I don’t really have the Twitter app. But even if you are not on it, it’s kind of word of mouth.

“Your friends and people can’t help but show what this person and that person has said.

“It’s basically impossible to stay away from it. People say stay away from the app, but even if you do that, it will always get back to you.

“Things like Instagram are better in a way because you can set it so you can’t really see these sorts of things.

“Twitter is hard. As soon as someone mentions you, it’s straight onto your timeline. For me, I think it’s best that I just call it a day.

“At the end of the day, I’ve realised it maybe just a platform for people to come at you. The quicker you get rid of it the better.”

Celtic will be back in action next week when they host Ross County.
