- Asked if Scotland are well placed to qualify, Christie said they always had confidence they could. Every team can beat each other, which in some ways suits them and in others makes it difficult.
- Christie said March was a frustrating night, and they have watched clips to learn from it. Looking back, they started the game all right, and he thinks the 3-0 probably flatters Greece.
- Asked if they are in a better place than in March, Christie said he would say so. A new qualifying campaign brings a feeling of freshness, with everything from before parked.
“You certainly don't like getting beaten for your home fans.”

- Asked about a young attacker he now plays with at Bournemouth, Christie said his directness and pace lift a crowd and can change the feeling of a game instantly. He is definitely ready to make an impact.
- Christie said he is not frustrated, and has so much respect for the manager that he is happy to play wherever he is needed for Scotland. He is not one to kick up a fuss and would not ask for a change.
