I fight the world, I fight myself- out of favour Celt goes heavy on social media

There can be little doubt that Chris Jullien is one of the most creative footballers on social media. 

A year ago he was posting regular videos from the gym of his comeback from knee injury but 20 months on from being struck down he has only managed 20 minutes of competitive football- in a Scottish Cup tie against Raith Rovers. 

Jullien has had plenty of thinking time, yesterday on Instagram he put together three images with the middle one requiring the most effort. 

With the main picture inside his car he has added an Gif of himself at the bottom with the lyrics of ‘Pray for Me’ displayed which includes fighting the world, fighting himself, floods of tears and puddles of blood in the streets. All pretty heavy stuff. 

I fight the world, I fight you, I fight myself
I fight God, just tell me how many burdens left
I fight pain and hurricanes, today I wept
I’m tryna fight back tears, flood on my doorsteps
Life a livin’ hell, puddles of blood in the streets
Shooters on top of the building, government aid ain’t relief
Earthquake, the body drop, the ground breaks
The poor run with smoke lungs and Scarface
Who need a hero? (Hero)
You need a hero, look in the mirror, there go your hero
Who on the front lines at ground zero? (Hero)
My heart don’t skip a beat, even when hard times bumps the needle
Mass destruction and mass corruption
The souls are sufferin’ men
Clutchin’ on deaf ears again, rapture is comin’
It’s all prophecy and if I gotta be sacrificed for the greater good
Then that’s what it gotta be 

Despite playing in most of Celtic’s pre-season matches Jullien has failed to make the matchday squad for the matches against Aberdeen and Ross County. 

With Moritz Jenz joining the club Jullien appears to have been relegated to fifth choice central defender with his contract running until May next year.
