Valle debut verdict, Palma under spotlight: Four things we learned as Celtic beat Falkirk.
After a thrilling 5-2 victory over Falkirk at home on Sunday afternoon, Celtic advanced to the Scottish League Cup semifinals.
John McGlynn’s team stepped up with genuine belief to take the lead in the game twice, making the Bhoys work for their victory.
Adam Idah scored twice in a minute following the break to turn a 2-1 deficit into a Celtic lead, after Paulo Bernardo had tied the score at one goal in the first half.
The game’s last goal came from replacement Nicolas Kuhn, who raced past a high defensive line to finish brilliantly in a one-on-one situation before smashing home another from the edge of the box.
To their credit, Falkirk gave Celtic their best game of the season. Well done, Bairns. In the end, though, it was the home team that proved they were worthy of a spot at Hampden.
Following the ninety minutes, these are the main talking topics.
It has been a big week for Idah. After scoring his first goal of the season against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League, he showed his true worth to the Bhoys today.
His price tag has put more expectation on his shoulders but he continues to demonstrate he is a viable rotation option to Kyogo Furuhashi.
