Some Celtic fans are desperate to see summer signing Christopher Jullien seek revenge for the club in their upcoming Scottish Premiership clash against Livingston.
The Frenchman was part of the Hoops’ side that saw them pick up a 2-0 loss to Livingston away from home. Goals from Scott Robinson and Lyndon Dykes saw them pick up an unexpected win.
But with the international break ending and the next one to come in March of 2020, Celtic will host Livingston at home at the weekend.
Jullien posted a message on Twitter about being excited for the Premiership to be back. Some fans have hailed him and want him to play a role in seeking revenge on Saturday.
Can’t wait until Saturday. Go get ’em, Chris! We have a score to settle with Livi #hoopsupsideyourhead

Jullien joined Celtic from French side Toulouse this past summer for a fee of £7million when he signed a four-year deal at Parkhead. Since joining, Jullien has established himself as a regular in the central defensive position.
So far this season, the Frenchman has played 21 times in all competitions for the club. He has scored twice and has featured regularly alongside defensive partner Kristoffer Ajer.
For Toulouse last season, the 26-year-old had been an important player for the Ligue 1 side. He had played 34 times in the league for the French outfit, scoring once for the club.
Some other fans are just glad that club football is back and so are Celtic.
Excellent big fella, good to see that kind of enthusiasm to the green and white cause. #hail hail #c’mon you Bhoys in green

Massive period of games coming up Big Man, let’s keep up the intensity and push on towards the 9. League Cup Final is huge

What do we think?
Playing away from home, the loss to Livingston wasn’t as big a surprise as it would have been if they had lost at home. Celtic’s Saturday’s opponents have not won a single game since their win over the Hoops back in October.
But as far as Celtic go, they have not lost since that game. The loss last month was their only defeat of the season in all competitions. And it seems likely to Neil Lennon’s men exact revenge on Saturday.
