SPL - Falkirk peg back Celtic in thriller

Eurosport - Sun, 08 Nov 12:27:00 2009

A dramatic late equaliser from substitute Mark Stewart handed Falkirk a 3-3 draw against Celtic in a remarkable SPL game at the Falkirk Stadium.

FOOTBALL Tony Mowbray Celtic manager 2009 - 0

Hoops midfielder Aiden McGeady had a first-half penalty saved by Robert Olejnik, who also made an astonishing save from the rebound. But if the first half was good, the second period was almost unbelievable.

Celtic defender Gary Caldwell headed the Hoops ahead just after the break but then conceded a penalty when he brought down Ryan Flynn, allowing Scott Arfield to level from the spot.

Pedro Moutinho then volleyed Falkirk ahead to give them hope of their first SPL win of the season. However, Parkhead substitute Scott McDonald, on moments earlier for Paddy McCourt, headed the equaliser in the 72nd minute before grabbing another five minutes later.

It looked like it was all over for the gritty home side but they took one last breath and were rewarded when Stewart, on for Alex MacDonald, ran on to a Flynn pass to fire past Lukasz Zaluska.

Celtic, who have now played a game more, go two points clear of Old Firm rivals Rangers at the top of the table but there will be questions asked after tripping up against the league's bottom side.

  1. aztec; more than a shade of blue tinted bias there if I­ might say, not to mention a tad of petulance when­ someone has the nerve to disagree; tsk tsk multiple­ posts, that will show them eh? But in the interests of­ a bit of balance, you could have thrown in a few more­ names; duncan, matthew, alan j, gavin c, yin, sarah g­ and david. Maybe a wee bit more research, or a wee bit­ less blue tint will allow to to post an unbiased­ comment in future.

You are a disgrace to your team and to your­ nation, and are surely up there with the haigs and­ joneses, and the todds of the world, absolute scum; oh­ and just how big of a pie do you have to be to argue­ with a machine for an hour after you found out it was ­ a machine?….DUH!!!
