Falkirk ends 19-year wait for Celtic win as doubts grow over O'Neill

Falkirk beat Celtic 1-0 in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, extending Celtic's run to six defeats in ten matches across all competitions.

Falkirk earned their first win over Celtic in 19 years with a 1-0 victory in the Scottish Premiership. Scott Bain excelled in goal for Falkirk against his former club.

Chris Sutton was blunt in his post-match assessment, calling the team a poor functioning unit lacking a clear strategy and saying they are deficient in every area. Former Falkirk manager Ian McCall blamed injury and overuse, pointing to declining form from key players like Tierney, McGregor and Forrest.

Celtic remain four points clear at the top but face Rangers and Hearts who have games in hand.
