Some Celtic are making their trust very clear about one thing that Christopher Jullien did in the club’s recent 2-0 win over Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership recently.
The Hoops remained at the top of the Premiership because of a 2-0 win against the Hibs on Sunday, while their Old Firm rivals also won 2-0 (BBC).
One dodgy moment became a near-disaster moment for Celtic. Jullien nearly put the ball into his own net late in the game, but Fraser Forster saved it and denied the Hibs a way into the match.
Celtic fans: Is Jullien the best player this season?
No doubt about it
There have been better
Jullien posted a message on Twitter about how he was intending to pass it back. And Celtic fans absolutely agree with the Frenchman.
Keeping him on his toes big man

The Hoops aren’t just at the top of the Premiership. They have also progressed at the top of the Europa League group and have already progressed into the knockout stages of the competition by finishing first for the first time in history.
Jullien joined the Hoops from Ligue 1 side Toulouse in the summer of 2019 for a fee of around £7m. He became the club’s second-most expensive signing in history after Odsonne Edouard.
This season, the Frenchman has established himself as the club’s regular central defender, playing alongside Kristoffer Ajer. He has played 27 times in the Premiership this season, scoring thrice and racking up one assist. One of his goals came against Lazio in the Europa League clash in Glasgow, with another coming in the League Cup final in a 1-0 win over Rangers.
What do we think?
Jullien has been immense for the club this season. The goals that he has scored have come in crucial games of the season and he has been worth the fee. The partnership with Ajer has been very important and will be immensely crucial in the remainder of the season.
