Celtic fans go wild as star man returns to line-up for Sparta Prague clash

Celtic fans are delighted to see Christopher Jullien return to the starting line-up against Sparta Prague tonight.

The defender was recently sidelined with a back injury, but Neil Lennon has handed him a start in the Czech Republic as the Hoops look to keep their Europa League dreams alive.

The Parkhead manager has made four changes from the side that drew 2-2 with Hibs at the weekend as Odsonne Edouard, Hatem Abd Elhamed and Olivier Ntcham also come into the side.

Celtic's defence has undoubtedly suffered in Jullien's absence and supporters are over the moon to see the Frenchman back in action.

@LMEvans95 said: "The hero we need, but not the one we deserve."

@ConMcQ added: "Jullien!! Well, on paper this is the strongest side we've fielded in a while. Sadly, it hasn't been going that way in reality. Let's hope the team and the manager can start the comeback tonight!

@daisywi39288634 tweeted: "When I seen Jullien's name I started dancing."

@celtic_thoughts added: "I was close! Jullien is back in from the start. Realistically, a good line up that shouldn't be getting any problems from Sparta Prague, in practice though, we'll have to wait and see. Come on lads!"

@JinkyThreepwood tweeted: "Glad to see Jullien back."

@cedric_lambert1 said: "The return of Chris Jullien."

Celtic XI: Bain, Elhamed, Ajer, Jullien, Laxalt, McGregor, Brown, Ntcham, Christie, Elyounoussi, Edouard.

Bench: Barkas, Hazard, Taylor, Duffy, Soro, Bitton, Rogic, Frimpong, Henderson, Ajeti.
