Christopher Jullien in Celtic reunion five word response as ex-defender reignites Hoops connection

Christopher Jullien has issued a five word response to an unlikely Celtic reunion.

The towering defender pulled down the curtain on three successful years in Glasgow last year after being 'frustrated' with game time under the new Ange Postecoglou regime. Jullien suffered a horrific knee injury in late 2020 and made his return to action a full 14 months later only to find his usual starting spot taken by Cameron Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt.

But the 29-year-old sealed a permanent move to Ligue 1 side Montpellier in the summer and has faced a tough test with his new outfit 14th in the table and five points from the drop.

But Sunday saw an unlikely reunion between the ex-Parkhead defender and former teammate Karamoko Dembele. The youngster was hailed as one of the next big things at Celtic but a regular place in the first-team never materialised under Brendan Rodgers or Neil Lennon.

The 19-year-old sealed a free transfer to Brest in the summer but has made only 14 appearances in total for the French outfit with only one start this campaign. It was Jullien's outfit that run out comfortable 3-0 winners but the defender took time to send a message to his former teammate.

Jullien posted on Instagram: "Nice to see you bro" with a picture of the pair pre-match. The defender also included the classic four-leaf clover emoji.

Dembele responded with: "My brother" and a handshake emoji to complete the reunion.
