Chris Jullien and his social media channels are acting as an unofficial recruiting tool for Celtic.

From the moment that Moussa Dembele started scoring in the 2016 Champions League French fans and players have increasingly been looking towards Ecosse.

Olivier Ntcham and Odsonne Edouard joined up a year later with Jullien joining the mini French colony last summer.

Celtic’s recent successes have had a strong French flavour with more likely to follow with the former Toulouse defender having no regrets over the switch that he made a year ago.

Jullien told the Daily Record:

I have had a lot of French players asking me, ‘How is Celtic?’ I say to them, ‘It’s huge – one of the biggest clubs’.

In France there is a lot of respect for Celtic. Everyone knows it’s a famous club with amazing fans but when you also focus on the team and the big games we play you realise just how huge it is.

I post videos on my social media and the reaction from back home is big. When my friends come to games, see the stadium, the fans and all the talent we have they are blown away.

A lot of them would love to play for Celtic but it’s not that easy. There are a lot of good players dreaming of the same.

After a couple of seasons in mid-table with Toulouse Jullien adapted quickly to the demands of Celtic, responding with solid displays and vital goals.

Social media has added to his connection with the Celtic support where his goals and celebrations have been well received.
