Celtic expert drops worrying Jullien update

This is a strange one for me.

Christopher Jullien seems to becoming one of those injury enigmas that no one can explain, but we all know is there.

After being named in a few Celtic squads in recent weeks, the big defender has still to make the breakthrough into the Celtic first team and it seems, for now, he could be in for a longer wait.

But not because he is injured. It does seem that we are not likely to see anything from the big defender this season according to Kieran Devlin from The Athletic, “On Jullien, I understand that Carl Starfelt and Cameron Carter-Vickers are very settled as a partnership more than anything else.

“I understand there is nothing significantly wrong with Jullien’s recovery after 15 months out with injury, however, by the summer he will have only one year left on his contract.

“When combined with the possibility that Carter-Vickers decides not to turn his loan from Tottenham Hotspur into a permanent move, it makes the centre-back question this summer an intriguing one.”

So if there is nothing wrong, why hasn’t he been given a run out? Surely he could played against Raith Rovers or at least made the squad for Livingston and given the last 20 minutes?

Or maybe Ange just doesn’t rate him?

Whatever it is, the future doesn’t look too bright for the big man.
