Celtic boss Neil Lennon insists he's not concerned by Christopher Jullien 's form, as he predicted the draw with Kilmarnock may prove to be a "valuable point".
The Frenchman was at fault for Killie's goal in the 1-1 draw, conceding a penalty for a foul on Nicke Kabamba.
The striker gave the Celtic centre-back a torrid afternoon, but Lennon isn't too concerned by the Frenchman's performance.
He said on Sky Sports: "It's poor, but Chris will get better as the season goes on. He needs more games.
"He was a bit of a slow starter last year as well.
"It's sloppy from his point of view but we're not going to throw anybody under the bus, it's a team effort and we didn't do enough to win the game, or didn't create enough chances to win the game.
"We certainly had enough momentum particularly in the second half to have won it."
The champions dropped points in only their second game of the Premiership season, but their manager feels it might prove not to be a bad result in the long-run.
Lennon said: "We're disappointed not to win the game, because we had enough of the ball and we've given away a poor goal.
"We dominated the second half and we just lacked a bit of penetration, the finishing touch.
"But Kilmarnock defended very, very well at times as well."
The Celtic manager was asked if his side had found it hard to break Killie down.
Lennon replied: "Well obviously, yeah.
"We never scored from open play, we scored a goal from a free-kick and we shouldn't have let Kilmarnock back in the game and given them oxygen.
"Second half it was all us, we probed but we just lacked that bit of quality on the day.
"We've dropped two points if you want to look at it that way, but it could be an important point later on because this is a tough place to come.
"We'll get better as we go along.
"It's difficult to move the ball quickly because the pitch is slow and dry, but we knew all that.
"We didn't work their goalkeeper enough for my liking and that's the only real criticism I have of them."
