Official | Christopher Jullien joins Montpellier from Celtic | OneFootball

As confirmed by the French club, former Toulouse defender Christopher Jullien has completed his move to Montpellier from Scottish club Celtic.

Jullien, formerly of Auxerre and Dijon too, has signed a three year deal with MHSC with club president Laurent Nicollin concerned by the defensive display in the 2-1 home loss to promoted Auxerre this weekend.

The former France under 20 champion moved to the Scottish club in 2019 from Toulouse in a €7m move, after making 108 appearances for Les Violets, scoring eight goals in that time. In Scotland, the Frenchman became a two-time league champion, also winning the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup.

In total, Jullien made 62 appearances for Celtic, in which he scored 10 goals. Jullien has not started a competitive game for a-year-and-a-half after suffering a knee injury in the Scottish Cup back in December 2020.

The 28-year-old French centre-back will wear the number six shirt for MHSC this season.
