Pics: £7m Defender in Glasgow to Sign for Celtic

CELTIC will today sign Christopher Jullien and parade him at Celtic Park before the French defender hops on another flight to Austria to meet up with his new Celtic team-mates.

Jullien touched down in Edinburgh late last night with his agent after keeping us all up to date with his journey via his Instagram and headed for Glasgow to meet Parkhead bosses.

The fee is believed to be around £7million  according to RecordSport for the defender who will become Celtic’s first summer signing.

The 26-year-old will come in and be a direct replacement for Dedryck Boyata who left the club in the summer after failing to agree a new deal with Scottish champions.

Neil Lennon was eager to strengthen his backline ahead of the Euro qualifiers and now Jullien could be in a position to start these games if his fitness is up to scratch.

The defender looks quite the character going by his Instagram posts and the signing is a massive statement of intent from the club.
