Rather than complain about not playing where he would prefer, Christie believes he is thriving.
Scotland star Christie explained, per the Daily Echo: It's been strange (playing deep).
It came around because of an injury crisis, but I don't think there's any turning back.
It might be the classic getting deeper as you get older. But I'm loving it.
The manager at club level has been amazing with me and I've managed to play a lot of games this season and gain a bit of consistency.
It was a different position the other night but when it comes to Scotland, but I'm happy to play anywhere.
I don't think it's just me who's playing well.
"A few boys in the squad are flying right now.
"Hopefully that continues between now and the summer.
"If you can keep up the club form you will go to Germany feeling good."
