Falkirk 0-1 Celtic: Benjamin Nygren Nets Crucial Winner to Keep Pressure on Leaders Hearts
Nygren’s 10th league goal secured a narrow 1-0 win for Celtic at Falkirk, lifting them to second place in the Premiership, six points behind Hearts.
- On Wednesday, Benjamin Nygren headed home from an Arne Engels corner to give Celtic a 1-0 win at Falkirk Stadium, moving them into second place in the William Hill Premiership.
- Martin O'Neill has been tasked with rescuing the season after a turbulent month under Wilfried Nancy, and being outplayed by Falkirk last year intensifies pressure on the Celtic hierarchy to sign reinforcements.
- Falkirk pressed compactly, harried Celtic into mistakes and created chances, while Kasper Schmeichel blocked Ethan Williams and Connor Allan's stoppage-time header; John Beaton was injured at half-time, replaced by Sean Murdoch.
- The win leaves Celtic with a five-point cushion over Dundee United and Aberdeen, but wingers Calvin Miller and Kyrell Wilson could not prevent the narrow margin from missed chances and only two shots on target.
- Reliance on a single finisher is evident as Benjamin Nygren’s positioning again secured the goal, while Celtic’s attacking unit lacked the decisive killer touch.
