Out of favour Christopher Jullien has spoke for the first time since the collapse of his move from Celtic to Schalke last week.
The 29-year-old reported for the first day of pre-season training at Lennoxtown with his future unclear but a post emerged on his social media hinting he was on a plane out of Scotland. It would quickly emerge that the Frenchman was in talks with the Bundesliga side, having spent much of the last 18 months injured after colliding with the post in a league clash against Dundee United in January 2021.
Jullien has made after just one appearance under Ange Postecoglou, in a Scottish Cup cameo against Raith Rovers when he played just 16 minutes. Despite passing a medical at Schalke he failed to agree personal terms over a loan move, and is now back at the Premiership champions with a year left on his deal with the Bundesliga side moving on to other targets.
