Christopher Jullien breaks Celtic silence as defender provides first update since Covid blow

Crocked Christopher Jullien has taken to social media to thank well-wishers after the Celtic defender was caught at the centre of the controversial Dubai trip storm.

The Parkhead club have been criticised in the wake of their controversial Middle East jaunt that's left Jullien with a positive Covid test.

A total of 13 players and three staff – including Neil Lennon and No.2 John Kennedy – were also placed in isolation.

It compounded a horrendous few months for the Frenchman, who was on trip while on crutches as he faces up to four months with a knee injury.

However, the Celtic defender took to Instagram to confirm that he was on the mend after the bout of coronavirus.

He said: "Thank you everybody for all the well wishes.

"I'm feeling much better. Take care of yourself and your families."

The £7million defender is not expected to make another Scottish Premiership appearance this term after being stretched off against Dundee United last month.
