Christopher Jullien has paid tribute to former Celtic boss Neil Lennon.

It was announced earlier this week that Lennon had resigned from his post at Parkhead following a dismal season.

Sunday’s defeat by Ross County left Celtic 18 points behind Rangers in the Premiership title race.

This was supposed to be the year that the Hoops won a historic 10 titles in a row, but their Old Firm rivals have ripped up the script.

Lennon spent £7 million on bringing Jullien to Glasgow in the summer of 2019 and despite losing the support of a lot of Celtic fans this season, the Irishman has retained the respect of the big French defender.

Here’s how Jullien reacted on Instagram to the departure:

There’s a big revamp needed at Celtic Park and it’ll be fascinating to see who is brought in to replace Lennon.

John Kennedy will take the reins in the short term and a strong end to the campaign wouldn’t harm his chances of earning a full-time post beyond the summer.
