Trivia

  • An unchanged side two games in a row.

Review

Celtic reverted to their poor shooting form of early in the season. Higgins, McPhail and Peacock all had efforts early which were wide. Mcfeat had a good game in the Falkirk goal to deny excellent shots from Fernie and Higgins and at the other end Stein was alert and mopping up when needed. In the second half a McPhail and Peacock move gave Higgins a goal from close in.
