Celtic summer signing Christopher Jullien has taken to Twitter with a message for the Bhoys fanbase and Parkhead teammates following the Scottish Premiership champions’ 3-1 win away at FK Sarajevo in their Champions League qualifying first round first leg.

The centre-back joined the Hoops from Toulouse late last month for a reported £7million fee, agreeing a four-year deal to become the treble Treble champions’ first summer recruit and second most expensive signing, as reported by BBC Sport.

Jullien is yet to make his competitive debut as he seeks to get up to speed and Celtic manager Neil Lennon opted to rest the Frenchman for the match in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which saw Mirko Oremus put the hosts ahead before Mikey Johnston, Odsonne Edouard and Scott Sinclair struck to put the visitors in pole position.

Here is what Jullien wrote on his Twitter feed:

A number of Bhoys took to the social media platform praising Jullien’s comments and looking forward to seeing him in the green and white hoops soon:

The second leg takes place next Wednesday’s at Celtic Park, should they emerge from that, the Hoops will face either North Macedonian champions Shkendija or Estonian counterparts Nomme Kalju, the former winning 1-0 in the away leg of their tie (BBC Sport).
