CELTIC 2 FALKIRK 0

TOMAS CVANCARA was in Paradise this afternoon as he scored his first goal for Celtic in another crucial Premiership weekend.

Benjamin Nygren netted his 15th goal of a prolific debut season when he claimed the second strike to give the champions some breathing space.

The victory saw the Hoops leapfrog Danny Rohl’s side into second place on goal difference after the Govan club drew 0-0 with Hibs at Easter Road earlier in the day.

Martin O’Neill’s men also clawed back three points on leaders Hearts and are now six behind the Edinburgh outfit.

It was yet another interesting day in the east end of Glasgow where the hosts got the job done.

Only a superb diving save from Kasper Schmeichel prevented the visitors taking the lead in the ninth minute.

A ball in from the left by Leon McCann eliminated the Hoops central defence and Barney Stewart was allowed a free header from eight yards.

The striker’s effort looked to be arrowing in low at the keeper’s left-hand post until the Great Dane took off in spectacular fashion to touch the ball wide for a corner-kick.
