Celtic defender Christopher Jullien has posted some images of himself and a number of his teammates posing in the club’s new kit.
The Hoops recently announced a five-year partnership with German sportswear manufacturer Adidas and it is understood to be the biggest kit sponsorship deal ever to be announced across Scottish sport.
Jullien has played a key role in Neil Lennon’s side this season, having started in 93% of the club’s Scottish Premiership fixtures. Celtic boasted the joint-best defensive record in the division last season with the Frenchman in the heart of their defence, but the former Toulouse man has proven to be a threat at the other end too, scoring seven goals in all competitions.
Many fans flocked to Jullien’s post – here is how a sample of them have responded:
Looking Good!!! ?

Has Christopher Jullien been Celtic's best defender this season?
Yes
No
Whilst the majority of these supporters reacted positively to the images of their key defender modelling their new strip, one fan opted to comment on club captain Scott Brown’s hairstyle, which also featured in the images.
@ScottBrown8 deffo regretting not shaving that off before the photo there.

When the 2020/21 Scottish Premiership campaign kicks off at the start of August, the Celts will be going in search of their tenth consecutive league title. We can assume that come the end of the season, these fans will be hoping to see Jullien and his teammates smiling again in their brand new kit.
