30 yards from goal. He went into the book and Christie exacted his own retribution with the setpiece. From the distance, keeper Danny Rogers should have been in control of the direct hit.
On his first start for the club, Rogers wasn’t able to react to Christie’s long-range effort and it crashed into the net.
Jullien was badly at fault as Killie got their equaliser from the spot midway through the opening period.
The French defender was slow as Rory McKenzie kept the ball in play at the touchline.
Then he didn’t deal with Kabamba at the bye-line as play developed and ended up taking down the striker as he dodged past him in the box.
Referee Alan Muir had a simple call. Burke took the responsibility to sink the award.
Vasilis Barkas hadn’t even made a save by that point.
The Greek international was thrust into the line-up for a debut 10 days after sealing his switch to Glasgow and was a spectator until Burke eyeballed him from 12 yards.
Kabamba also found freedom to send two separate headers over from Ross Millen crosses either side of Burke’s penalty.
Just prior to the break, Kabamba also hassled Jullien into another error and jostled his way past the centre-back.
The stopper atoned with a half-block allowing Barkas to gather, but it was another example of the discomfort he was feeling. At the other end,
Edouard swirled a free-kick just wide and Forrest didn’t get a header on target from Christie’s brilliant delivery as the scoreline remained level for the restart.
Edouard worked a one-two with Forrest at the edge of the box before wildly hammering over the bar, yet Burke burrowed his way into the penalty area at the other end to pose a threat
As the clock ticked beyond the hour Celtic were toiling. Long-range efforts from
Christie and Scott Brown screamed of the frustration within Lennon’s ranks as they struggled to carve openings. The manager went for changes late on in personnel and shape. Hatem Elhamed and Patryk Klimala were sent into the contest as the side reverted to 4-4-2. When Klimala was inches from a Christie cross in the dying seconds, it confirm Jullien’s error was very costly.
