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

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.
