Christopher Jullien has teased a Celtic return in a social media post. Posing in the new Celtic home shirt, the French defender said that his third season at Celtic was “like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written.”

The 28-year-old defender has been back at Celtic Park watching his teammates but Ange Postecoglou admitted recently that the player was still months away from returning to action as he is currently undergoing rehabilitation treatment.

Celtic may look to bring another defender in to the club in the next few days to partner Carl Starfelt until the Frenchman returns. A number of central defenders have been linked but the club are still utilising Nir Bitton at the back, despite his lapses in concentration at times.
