The Story in 60 Seconds

Falkirk secured a 2-0 victory against Celtic on Sunday afternoon, ending a 19-year winless run against the Glasgow club. Ethan Ross opened the scoring early after an error by Cameron Carter-Vickers, before Scott Tanser doubled the lead in the 38th minute following an assist from Owen Eames. Celtic suffered from missed chances by Camilo Duran and exceptional goalkeeping from Scott Bain, who earned Man-of-the-Match honors.

The Daily Mail argues that the defeat leaves manager Martin O'Neill on thin ice after securing just three wins in his last 10 matches across all competitions. The report criticizes the club's dysfunctional state on and off the pitch, asserting that Celtic require a top-to-bottom rebuild amid poor individual performances from several key players.
