O Falkirk venceu o Celtic por 2 a 0 neste domingo, com um gol de Ethan Ross no início e uma finalização de Scott Tanser, na primeira vitória do clube sobre o time de Glasgow desde 2007.
Foi uma tarde cara para o Celtic. A vitória teria deixado o time sete pontos à frente no topo da Premiership; em vez disso, a vantagem segue em quatro, os comandados de O'Neill venceram apenas três dos últimos 10 jogos em todas as competições, e a tarde trouxe a segunda derrota no campeonato — depois do empate por 2 a 2 com o Dundee United em casa. O Besiktas vem a seguir na Europa League, competição em que o time tem três derrotas em três jogos.
“Ainda estamos no topo da liga”, disse O'Neill ao fim do jogo. “O Celtic está acostumado a vencer, como dá para ver pelo número de troféus que ganhou nos últimos 25 anos.”
Sutton, ex-atacante do Celtic, havia dito antes: “É uma loteria esperar pelo time do Celtic. Quem sabe qual time Martin vai escalar?” Depois do apito final, descreveu o clube como “em regressão”. Boyd disse que “é preciso fazer perguntas sérias” sobre o treinador.
