Some Celtic have reacted enthusiastically to the latest Twitter post of club’s towering central defender Christopher Jullien recently.
With the Bhoys set to play their first game of the decade in the Scottish Cup against Partick Thistle, Jullien posted a message on Twitter. It got the Hoops’ folk talking.
Celtic fans: Will Jullien be the most important player in the 2nd half of the season?
No question about it

Jullien has been a regular part of the Celtic defensive line this season. He has made a total of 31 appearances in all competitions so far, scoring four goals and playing alongside Kristoffer Ajer.
It was Jullien’s goal that had helped the Hoops win the League Cup final at the start of the previous month. As Alfredo Morelos missed a penalty, Jullien got a second-half goal to win Celtic their 19th League Cup crown.
As things stand, Jullien is Celtic’s second-most expensive signing in history. He arrived at the club from Ligue 1 side Toulouse this past summer for a fee of £7m.
What do we think?
Jullien, who is valued at £5.4 million (Transfermarkt), is proving to be worth the money for the Hoops. The club has conceded only 13 goals in the Premiership this season – the second-best record in the division. It shows the impact Jullien has had on the team and how important he will be in what is left of the season.
