NEIL LENNON has confirmed in his pre-match Glasgow Derby interview that his defender Christopher Jullien is out for the majority of the rest of this season.
The Celtic manager delivered the blow which almost certainly means the club will be in the market for a a centre back.
BREAKING: Celtic boss Neil Lennon has told @SkySports that defender Christopher Jullien will be out for “3-4 months” with a knee injury.

Jullien was stretchered off against Dundee Utd after saving a certain goal. Fans were hoping it was just a bit of bruising and impact that has kept him out of the Derby but it’s much worse and we must continue on without the Frenchman.
Bitton is preferred today at Ibrox and we have Duffy is on the bench but numbers are low.
It’s now a high priority position to fill in the coming days.
Celtic have not had much luck this season at all and Jullien missing massive fixtures going forward compounds that bad luck.
We can’t feel sorry for ourselves, we must keep going and chipping away.
