Christopher Jullien teases Celtic return as star defender drops Instagram hint

Celtic defender Christopher Jullien has headed to Instagram to drop a message regarding his return from injury.

Last season injuries restricted him to just 14 matches in all competitions, but in those matches he showed his worth to the team by scoring three goals and providing two assists.

Celtic have been struggling defensively over the past couple of seasons and supporters will welcome Jullien's return from injury.

Manager Ange Postecoglou recently revealed that Jullien was a 'couple of months away', but the Celtic star has dropped an Instagram message to supporters which may hint on an earlier return for the French defender.

On his account Jullien posted:

"Year three, it stands before me like a chapter in a book waiting to be written..."

The star posted the message with snaps of him in the Celtic home kit.

The Hoops have already strengthened in defence this transfer window with the arrival of Carl Starfelt, although supporters are desperate to see more defensive improvements.

The club currently have Starfelt, Jullien, Bitton and Welsh in the centre back position but the return of Jullien to the first team would add a layer of defensive security to the side.

Joe Hart has also been brought in to fill the problem goalkeeper position and will be hoping he can strike up a positive relationship on the park with Jullien when he returns from injury.

Celtic face a crucial period of their season just now, as they take on Dundee in the Scottish Premiership tomorrow and the second leg of their Europa League clash against Jablonec on Thursday.

Victory in Europe will see them progress to face AZ Alkmaar in the play-off round of the competition.
