  1. Celtic 2-0 Falkirk

    Arne Engels curls the set-piece in from the right but the first Falkirk defender nods it away from the front post area.

  2. YELLOW CARD

    Celtic 2-0 Falkirk

    Calvin Miller clatters into Anthony Ralston, who just had more desire to get to the ball first.

    Free-kick on the edge of the Falkirk box.

  3. Celtic 2-0 Falkirk

    Another stoppage as Brad Spencer takes a stray elbow from Daizen Maeda in the chops.

    Sore, but accidental.

  4. Celtic 2-0 Falkirk

    Dylan Tait crunches in on Arne Engels and leaves the Celtic midfielder in a heap.

    Martin O'Neill is outraged on the touchline, but play goes on.

    Once the ref checks on Engels, we resume with a drop ball.

  5. HT: Celtic 2-0 Falkirk

    Here come the teams again. The second half will be up and running in just a moment.

  6. HT: Celtic 2-0 Falkirk

    Falkirk are without their first choice centre-halves, with a back-up goalkeeper making just his second league start of the season.

    That might be why they've been on the front foot so much.

    Can they find the next goal and make a game of it?

  7. HT: Celtic 2-0 Falkirk

    Daizen Maeda got a goal in last weekend's Scottish Cup semi-final win over St Mirren, but that's his first in the league since early January.

  8. 'The Daizen Maeda show'

    HT: Celtic 2-0 Falkirk

    Andy Halliday
    Motherwell midfielder on BBC Sportsound

    For me, Falkirk have been the better side, Celtic have fashioned very little from open play. The difference has been Daizen Maeda. His energy levels are remarkable. He plays with such enthusiasm.

    It's been the Daizen Maeda show!

  9. HALF-TIME Celtic 2-0 Falkirk

    Celtic are level on points with leaders Hearts as it stands, thanks to goals from Daizen Maeda and Kieran Tierney.

  10. 'Hit with real pace'

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    What a good finish!

    It was started by that man Maeda again, winning the ball back in a critical area and playing it into his path.

    Tierney hits it with real pace.

    GOAL Celtic 2-0 Falkirk

    Kieran Tierney

    Daizen Maeda steals the ball from Falkirk again and sets Kieran Tierney on his way.

    The Scotland full-back then crashes in an unstoppable shot!

    The ball is a blur as it goes in under the crossbar.

  12. Celtic 1-0 Falkirk

    Brad Spencer loops a deep cross into the mixer from a short corner and Dylan Tait is first to it. He skews the ball well wide from a very promising position.

  13. Celtic 1-0 Falkirk

    Liam Scales with an important front post block as Falkirk slice their way through with a series of slick passes.

  14. Celtic 1-0 Falkirk

    The home fans get excited as James Forrest dips a shoulder and cuts inside but the Celtic winger's shot is blocked at the edge of the penalty box.

  15. Celtic 1-0 Falkirk

    Oh dear. What a horrible moment for Keelan Adams.

    The Falkirk defender needs to clear his head after that costly error.

  16. CLOSE!

    Celtic 1-0 Falkirk

    Daizen Maeda has another go. This time it's an easy save for Nicky Hogarth.

    Falkirk fly up the park and a hooked volley from Calvin Miller spins wide - not by much.

  17. 'Quite incredible'

    Celtic 1-0 Falkirk

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    Quite incredible. How many times have we seen Daizen Maeda do that?

    The tenacity and the speed to go and close people down.

    He gets his reward for it.

    GOAL Celtic 1-0 Falkirk

    Daizen Maeda

    Keelan Adams is guilty of giving the ball away as the last man and Daizen Maeda is alert enough to send the ball beyond the stranded Nicky Hogarth.

    Adams bashed his attempted clearance against the Celtic forward, who then lashed a low effort in from a long way out.

  19. 'Celtic link-up lacking'

    Celtic 0-0 Falkirk

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    Looking at Celtic, they build the game quite well.

    It goes to the full-backs and out to the wingers, but there is no link-up into the centre forward.

    That piece is missing and it has been for a long time this season.

  20. Celtic 0-0 Falkirk

    Now Nicky Hogarth makes a good, diving save to keep out a long-range effort from Anthony Ralston.
