Jullien arrived at Parkhead from French side Toulouse in the summer of 2019. He had joined the club for £7 million and is the second most expensive signing in Celtic’s history (via BBC Sport).
Some other Celtic fans talked about the summers in Scotland and how they won’t last as long as Jullien may want.

All in all, the reaction to Jullien’s tweet is a rather positive one from Celtic fans and it shows that they’ve developed a liking for him already.
The Frenchman made 46 appearances in all competitions in the 2019/20 season. 28 of them came in the Premiership. Despite being a central defender, he scored seven goals in all competitions for the Hoops (via Transfermarkt).
Jullien also scored a winner in Celtic’s League Cup final win over Rangers and found the net three times in the league in 2020 (via Transfermarkt). This shows how he has already managed to carve out a special place in the hearts and minds of the Celtic fans.
