CHRISTOPHER JULLIEN has confirmed that he is nearing his Celtic return after working back from a back injury. The French defender hasn’t featured since the 5-0 win over Ross County owing to the inflammation of his lower back.

The defender posted on a montage of his recovery on Twitter and that he was looking forward to getting back onto the pitch. The Frenchman could be the answer to Neil Lennon’s defensive prayers should his return come within the next week ahead of a hectic run of fixtures.
