A lot of Celtic fans have ripped into Christopher Jullien after he managed to score an own goal during the Hoops’ 2-1 win over St Mirren. (04:50)
The goal came in the 89th minute which gave St Mirren a glimmer of hope, but the Hoops managed to hold on.
Are you impressed with Jullien?
Yes
No
However, this error from Jullien has not gone down well with many Celtic fans.
Jeez. Big Jullien there.
1. Gives away needless free kick.
2. Hurts his shin with the challenge.
3. Deflects free kick into his own goal.The trifecta of pish!

He thinks he’s the next Van Dijk at times. He should just focus on being the current Jullien.

That could easily have been his second yellow. Big man must have enjoyed his Xmas dinner yesterday.

He’s a liabity. Needs to mature quickly. And don’t even get me started on Bolingoli. Taylor must be scratching his heid wondering why he can’t get a game.

Not been a great performance from him today

He gets caught up too much with personal battles
Never jumped for the free kick either

Other Hoops supporters, though, are prepared to give the Frenchman more time to adapt to the league.
He will come good.

Don’t worry he will be fine by Sunday. HH.

What do we think?
Jullien arrived in the summer from Toulouse and has overall played well.
However, this error was careless from the 26-year-old, and, understandably, some Celtic fans want Jullien to improve.
The Frenchman, who is valued at £5.4m by Transfermarkt, first of all, gave away a needless free-kick, (04:34) and then as the ball came in, he headed the ball into his own net. (04:50)
Celtic and Rangers are in a fierce battle at the top of the table, and the two sides meet in the third Old Firm clash of the season, and Jullien will have to be better than he was on Boxing Day.
