Christopher Jullien makes Celtic vow as defender shares 'back in business' message with fans

Celtic defender Christopher Jullien has vowed "2022 will be a brighter year for me" as he nears a return to action.

The French centre-back has been out for over a year after rupturing his cruciate ligament against Dundee United in December 2020.

His return to action has been repeatedly put back but the Celtic man returned to training at Lennoxtown this week.

And after missing the whole of 2021 the defender is determined this year will be better as he gets set to help the Premiership title challenge.

He wrote on Twitter: "For sure 2022 will be a brighter year for me... So I'm wishing you all my people a bright and healthy year 22.

"Now let's go! #BackInBusiness."

The 28-year-old also added his familiar hashtag #HoopsUpsideYourHead.

An Under-20 World Cup winner with France in 2013, Jullien joined Celtic for a fee of £7million in the summer of 2019.

He helped Neil Lennon's side to a domestic treble in his first season, despite occasionally coming under fire for weak defending.

He bagged the only goal of the game in the League Cup final against Rangers in 2019 but struggled last season.

Celtic failed to win a trophy as they finished 25 points behind their city rivals, with Jullien crocked from December onward.

The centre-back also tested positive for Covid after the ill-fated trip to Dubai.
