Last updated 23rd Aug 2022
Celtic have sold Christopher Jullien to Montpellier.
The Ligue 1 side are believed to have paid around £1million for his services.
The 29-year-old was on the verge of a move to the Bundesliga earlier this summer but a move fell through.
The defender joined the Hoops from Toulouse for £7m in 2019.
In his first season he won a domestic treble, winning the League Cup, Scottish Cup and the Premiership, which was curtailed due to the pandemic.
He scored the only goal in the 1-0 win over Rangers in the League Cup final.
The Frenchman suffered a serious injury in 2020 which kept him out of action for over a year.
Jullien has not been in manager Ange Postecoglou's plans since his arrival and has only played once under the Australian.
In total he made 62 appearances for the club, scoring 10 times.
