Celtic coach Gavin Strachan took charge of the Hoops for their draw with Hibs
First-team coach Gavin Strachan has defended Celtic's decision to fly injured defender Christopher Jullien out to their controversial Dubai camp.
It has proved to be a calamitous call, with Jullien subsequently testing positive for coronavirus and forcing 13 of his team-mates into quarantine.
Boss Neil Lennon and his assistant John Kennedy are also self-isolating after being ruled a close contact of the centre-back.
They were made to watch at home as another late defensive lapse allowed Hibernian striker Kevin Nisbet to fire a late equaliser and cancel out David Turnbull's sublime free-kick in another devastating blow to the Hoops' faint title hopes.
