After the excitement and attention of his £7m transfer the hard work started today for Christopher Jullien.
The Celtic support has already taken to the out-going defender who seems as happy with his transfer as most of the hoops fans who have followed his social media accounts.

Jullien has been working out on his own over the last week but today he was in at the deep end as the Celtic backroom staff try to get him upto speed with his new team-mates as quickly as possible.
In eight days time Celtic travel to Sarajevo for their first Champions League qualifier with the return leg on July 17 probably a more realistic date for Jullien’s competitive debut.
Celtic are playing two matches tomorrow against St Gallen with the afternoon match for the younger players being earmarked for the first appearance in Celtic colours of the £7m signing from Toulouse.
