Falkirk vs Celtic LIVE goal updates from the Premiership clash

Martin O’Neill said it himself. There’s no margin for error now.

Celtic have already weathered their turbulence under Wilfried Nancy and even Brendan Rodgers. But the time for excuses is long gone. Every game from here on in is must-win, and tonight’s trip to high-flying Falkirk marks the first of 17 cup finals in the league for the stuttering champions.

The frustration is bubbling among the Hoops faithful with each passing day of transfer silence. As the fixtures disappear, Celtic are rolling the dice with a threadbare squad - and everyone knows reinforcements are required. A striker, a winger and a centre-back top O’Neill’s wishlist, but the Parkhead board have yet to deliver.

Falkirk, meanwhile, will fancy their chances of a statement upset under the lights. John McGlynn’s in-form side surged into the top six with an impressive 2-0 win in Paisley and the feel-good factor is real among the Premiership new boys.

And after shipping eight goals across their last two meetings with Celtic, McGlynn’s men have all the motivation they need to flip the script tonight.

Falkirk: Bain, Lissah, Allan, Henderson, McCann, Wilson, Spencer, Tait, Yeats, Miller, Stewart. Subs: Hogarth, Adams, Donaldson, Graham, Cartwright, Ross, Williams, Parkinson, Marsh.

Celtic: Schmeichel, Araujo, Trusty, Scales, Tierney, McGregor, Engels, Nygren, Yang, Tounekti, Maeda. Subs: Sinisalo, McCowan, Kenny, Bernardo, Hatate, Murray, Forrest, Donovan, Ralston.
