Celtic have completed the signing of Toulouse defender Christopher Jullien on a four-year deal.

The French centre-back becomes the Hoops' first signing of the summer after spending three years with the Ligue 1 side.

After completing the deal, Celtic manager Neil Lennon told the club's website: "We are absolutely delighted to bring Christopher to Celtic.

"He is a quality player with great attributes and we are very much looking forward to him joining the squad and working with him.

"We've got a squad of great quality already here at the club, who have achieved incredible success over the past few seasons, but it's always good to add further quality to the group, and that's what we've got with Christopher.

"I know the players will be delighted to welcome him into the squad, and I know he will be keen to play his part in the seasons ahead as we look to deliver further success for our supporters."

Jullien, who has also played for Auxerre, Freiburg and Dijon, helped Toulouse survive relegation from the French top flight last season.
