Celtic: Fans show their love for Christopher Jullien

Unsurprisingly, plenty of Celtic fans have reacted with glee to a tweet posted by Christopher Jullien following his heroics in Sunday’s Betfred Cup final.

Afterwards, he took to his Twitter account @Chri6ViF to give thanks to his team-mates and the Celtic fans, with a special mention for Fraser Forster after the goalkeeper denied Rangers’ Alfredo Morelos on multiple occasions at Hampden Park.

Jullien only came to Glasgow last summer but has already enjoyed some memorable days in a Hoops shirt, with his Betfred Cup final winner following on from a late winning goal against Lazio in the Europa League in October.

The 26-year-old, who is contracted to the club until 2023, has earned praise from a few ex-Celtic players in his short time at Parkhead.

Jackie McNamara told Football Insider that the centre-back has been getting “better and better”, while Chris Sutton said in a Daily Record column that he has “the makings of a leader”.

These Celtic fans lapped up Jullien’s post-match tweet, with some fervently hoping that he stays at the club for many more years:

I love you, don’t ever leave
