CHRISTOPHER Jullien reckons playing without fans away from home this weekend will be strange, but said he and his team-mates’ target remains the same.

Neil Lennon’s men play Kilmarnock at Rugby Park this Sunday (4.30pm kick-off), and the centre-back wants to entertain fans from afar with a positive result and maximum points.

The 27-year-old was pleased with the Hoops’ emphatic 5-1 Flag Day win over Hamilton last Sunday, but said he expects a stiffer challenge from opposing teams as the season rolls on.

“The Hamilton game was good, it was our first victory,” said Jullien while promoting the midnight relaunch of the Celtic Superstore. “There are a lot of games left, but we target every game with the mentality of winning it.

"For our first game, though, it was good. In the first half, we didn’t play entirely the way we wanted to, but we corrected that in the second half, it was a good weekend.

“Every year at Celtic becomes harder and harder because our opponents come stronger at you because you’re the champions. They want to defeat you, that’s the target they have. This year, we have a big goal at the end of the season, but we’re going to just stay focused on each game and prepare as best we can to win and keep on going.

“It’ll be different without the fans at Kilmarnock. Every away game I’ve played for Celtic, the fans have been amazing. They’ve been right behind us, so playing without them will be very different.”

Jullien: We’ll miss fans at Killie but game plan remains the same
