Christopher Jullien teases imminent Celtic return as defender reaches 'end of the tunnel'

Celtic defender Christopher Jullien has hinted at a return to first team action soon after over a year out.

Before the winter break Ange Postecoglou revealed the Frenchman would finally be back in full training during the shutdown.

And he could be returning to competitive action soon as he posted a snap of himself at Lennoxtown.

Jullien was injured in Celtic's last match of 2020 against Dundee United when he blocked a goal-bound shot before then colliding with the post.

The subsequent knee injury has taken some time to shake off with a number of setbacks along the way.

But in the centre-back's Twitter post on Friday afternoon he seemed to suggest he'll be back in the Hoops very soon - and even his familiar social sign-off is returning.

He posted: "Green light #endofthetunnel #hoopsupsideyourhead"

Whether Saturday evening's Scottish Cup clash against Alloa is the ideal time to bring Jullien back into the fold remains to be seen.

Monday's league clash at home to Hibs was deemed too early and the astroturf of Recreation Park plays host to the fourth round clash.
