"We've got flaws like anybody else, but you can't dispute the character of the team. We have to battle for everything. There were times today when we pressed strongly, we were great."
"It was a big challenge today to see where the players were. I'm very proud, it was very, very gutsy and brave, the performance. We didn't sit back, we just tried to take it to Celtic as much as we could."
"I thought Celtic were bang at it in the first half. I haven't seen them press as well as that in a long time. I thought, mentally, in the second half, many teams would be two goals down and lose by five or six."

Daizen Maeda and Kieran Tierney scored in the first half, while Kyrell Wilson reduced the deficit for Falkirk. Maeda's second goal sealed the win for Celtic.
