Celtic defender Christopher Jullien insists he has a 'magical' bond with compatriot Odsonne Edouard.
Jullien, who arrived from Toulouse for £7milllion in the summer, spent a season as Edouard's team-mate for the Ligue 1 club as the talisman was sent out on loan from PSG in 2016, before making the switch to Parkhead.
And as things would work out the pair would reunite this season in a Celtic shirt and have rekindled their relationship on and off the pitch.
Jullien admitted he was impressed how far Edouard has come in such a short space of time after struggling at Toulouse in what was his first year as a professional.
But the 26-year-old insists it's been the perfect reunion so far as he reflected on their journey to Neil Lennon's side.
He told Celtic TV: "It was my first year there (at Toulouse) too. He was really young and his first year as a professional.
"I told him when I arrived here (at Celtic) I am just really impressed with his journey because when I saw him in Toulouse he was a really young player.
"He's grown up and really understands the club and all the really difficult stuff.
"The year he had in Toulouse was not the best, but it made him learn a lot about football. He's much stronger mentally and that's why I think he is a really good player."
Jullien admitted the pair are very close on the field but have also developed a great relationship off the pitch.
He added: "If we have time to go out and eat, we will. We don't spend every hour of the day together but it's good to go eat together if we get the chance.
"But on the field we are just so close, it's magic."
