Christopher Jullien salutes Celtic title as his 'best moment' as he reflects on Rangers cup final

Delighted Celtic defender Christopher Jullien has hailed his club's nine-in-a-row achievment as the best moment in his career to date.

The towering Frenchman has been a mainstay since he arrived for £7million in the summer and has adapted to physicality of Scottish football extremely quickly.

He entered Celtic folklore after netting the only goal of the game in the Betfred Cup Final in December against Old Firm rivals Rangers as Neil Lennon 's ten men clinched another trophy.

And he was thrilled at winning his first league medal this week.

He said: "I think it's the best moment of my career.

"I believe a lot of people were open to the idea of continuing the league, but we have to think about everyone's health.

"But no-one can say we did not deserve the title.

"I spoke with a team-mate about not being able to celebrate with the fans, but that is only a part of this award. A title is a title.

"It's always something I am going to be very proud of."

And Julien admitted that Hampden winner was the springboard for his Hoops career.

He said: "Scoring that goal led to a lot of emotions for me. That was my first trophy in my career.

"For me, it was exceptional because it was a very complicated match for us and to win it with ten men was brilliant."
