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.
….
Thanks to all @CelticFC , can't dream of a better beginning in a club. 🥇
And the Fans, the Fans… You deserve each and every drop of sweat, win or goal, let's keep walking together 💚🍀💪🏽 2/2#Teamspirit#YoutherealMVP #10inarow pic.twitter.com/DOdRVu1JfT— Chris Jullien.. (@Chri6ViF) December 9, 2019
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
