RYAN Christie is looking forward to representing Scotland once again in the international break and said the number of players travelling to play for their countries is testament to the quality of the squad.

Bournemouth have 12 players heading to play for their national teams this month.

Christie will be joined by team-mate Ben Gannon-Doak in the Scotland side, while James Hill, Rayan, Junior Kroupi, Adrien Truffert, Justin Kluivert, António Silva, Daniel Jebbison, Đorđe Petrović, David Brooks and Tyler Adams also head on international duty.

The break will give the rest of the squad a good opportunity to rest after an intense run of games in October and the start of November, too.

Christie told the Daily Echo: “The boys that are not away will get a well-earned break and a bit of training as well.

“Obviously we've got a few boys just coming back, which is nice for them to hopefully integrate after the break as well, and for the international boys, you see the boys that are going away and representing their country, the likes of Adri again going away with France.

“It's quality these players get the recognition because I think they've been superb now for a number of games.

“For myself, we're obviously desperate to get back to winning ways with Scotland.

“It's always amazing going up and catching up and representing your country, so hopefully I get the chance to do that again.”
