# Celtic: Fans react humorously after Christopher Jullien’s botched celebration against Hearts

**A number of Celtic fans on social media were in a humorous mood following one moment in their team’s resounding victory on Wednesday night.**

Christopher Jullien scored the [second of their five goals](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/51381306) against Hearts at Parkhead just after half-time and, while [his header may have been clinical](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/51381306), his response to the goal seemed far less assured. As noted by Celtic Underground on Twitter ([@celticrumours](https://twitter.com/celticrumours/status/1228009854968659970)), his attempted knee slide celebration saw him untidily hit the turf face-first, with the tongue-in-cheek comment that he “must try harder” with his celebratory moves.

The French defender executed a rather more graceful knee slide a couple of months ago after he [scored the winner in the Betfred Cup final](https://www.skysports.com/football/rangers-vs-celtic/421184) against Rangers, as per [this clip from @tirnaog09](https://twitter.com/tirnaog09/status/1203748768514027520) on Twitter, and joked about the one which went wrong on Wednesday on his Twitter account [@Chri6ViF](https://twitter.com/Chri6ViF/status/1227923112307634179).

Jullien’s goal against Hearts was his [fourth in the Premiership](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-jullien/leistungsdaten/spieler/201737) and his [seventh in all competitions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-jullien/leistungsdaten/spieler/201737) this season, with only [five players in Neil Lennon’s squad](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/leistungsdaten/verein/371) boasting a higher tally. However, that didn’t stop these Celtic fans on Twitter from having a laugh about his botched knee slide celebration on Wednesday:

> No knee slide coach recruited in the window again. [@Chri6ViF](https://twitter.com/Chri6ViF?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) sloppy attempt explained right there.

> Aye but the way he smoothly changed the face plant into kissing the turf shows the judges he has a quality dismount even when the routine goes wrong
