Chris Jullien has laughed off yesterday’s moment of panic against Hibs as a tactical pass!
Late on in the match a cross came in from the right that caught the defender facing his own goal.
Jullien got his head to be ball but luckily Fraser Forster showed his instincts weren’t blunted by the cold as he blocked the close range effort.
Nope tactical pass ??

A late goal for Hibs could have caused a few anxious moments but Forster’s save made it nine SPFL wins on the bounce for Neil Lennon’s side.
After losing 2-0 at Livingston Jullien apologised to the Celtic support for a performance in which he was roughed up by Lyndon Dykes.
Since then his concentration has been spot on allowing Celtic to progress on three fronts as he adapts to the unique demands of playing for the eight-in-a-row champions.
Jullien did flirt with a yellow card and suspension against Cluj in midweek but survived that test to look forward to today’s 12 noon draw with Celtic in among the seeds ensuring that they avoid Ajax, Inter Milan, RB Salzburg and Manchester United.
