Some Celtic fans have been left raving at the goalscoring record of their central defender Christopher Jullien.
The Hoops recently picked up an impressive 5-0 win over Hearts, ensuring that they extended their lead at the top of the table to 10 points – with Jullien scoring another goal for the club and this left many Hoops raving.
Has Jullien been a bargain for Celtic?
No question about it
He's got to do more
Many Celtic couldn’t believe that their defender has scored seven goals this season. They gave their opinion about the towering Frenchman.
That’s what £7m buys ye.
Well, not all the time…

Imagine what his goal tally would be if we put him on left wing?

Jullien will be right inty that, our number 5 scoring the 5th goal. Crazy stuff that

Jullien goal output for a CB is ridiculous, magnitude of the goals he scores aswell is massive, Lazio, Rangers, Killie, tonight etc. Always turns up with a goal when we absolutely need it. Worth every penny and more.

CB that will end up with double figures this season. Ridiculous

Big Chris Jullien should be sitting on at least 15 goals this season. The guy literally wins everything in the air.

Celtic signed Jullien from Toulouse for a fee of around £7 million in the summer when the player signed a four-year deal to become the Scottish champions’ first summer recruit and second-most expensive signing.
This season, Jullien has made 39 appearances in all competitions for the club. He has four Premiership goals and one assist in 24 top-flight games.
What do we think?
Jullien’s fee has proved to be very small as compared to what his contributions have been. The 26-year-old has won 4.2 aerial duels per game in the Europa League while also winning two tackles per game. It shows what an impact he has had and Celtic fans have every right to call him a bargain.
