Falkirk stun Celtic as Scott Bain heroics seal first win against Hoops in 19 years

Falkirk have stunned Celtic with a 2-0 win at home after heroics from former Hoops goalkeeper Scott Bain.

The Scottish champions fell to a second league defeat of the season, unable to extend their gap on Rangers to more than four points.

For John McGlynn’s side, they made it four wins in a row in the Scottish Premiership with goals from Ethan Ross and Scott Tanser.

It was also the first time Falkirk have beaten Celtic since 2007, ending a 19-year unwanted record.

Falkirk moved up to fourth behind Hearts on 18 points, with the Jambos in action against Hibs in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final on Sunday.

It comes after Rangers booked their place in the final with a late goal against Aberdeen on Saturday.
