The Celtic players have been keeping fit with the 5K challenge that has been sweeping the nation during this lockdown.

Ryan Christie uploaded this video today, an impressive effort, completing the run in 17 minutes and 30 seconds.

As Christie says, he falls short of the efforts of Greg Taylor and Mouritz Bauer, who posted times of 16:54 and 16:45 respectively.

Those front runners, would be in the top 6 of local 5K running competitions, with that time, so it can be beaten. BUT can you do it? You’ve got the times, that’s the benchmark. Let us know if you do!
