ADAM IDAH AND Nicolas Kuhn came off the bench to inspire an emphatic comeback as Celtic beat Falkirk 5-2 in the Premier Sports Cup quarter-finals.
The scoreline was harsh on a Falkirk side who arguably posed Celtic their toughest challenge of the season before the final 20 minutes. Advertisement Rodgers made eight changes following Wednesday’s 5-1 Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava as Alex Valle made his debut and former Sheffield United centre-back Auston Trusty was handed his first start.Alistair Johnston and Cameron Carter-Vickers missed out through injury and the only players to retain their places were Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate and former Falkirk player Kasper Schmeichel.
They took the lead in the 11th minute. Valle could only head Dylan Tait’s diagonal ball to the feet of MacIver before being knocked off balance by Alfie Agyeman. MacIver fired a powerful shot from 22 yards which beat Schmeichel. Valle went down in a heap as he tried to jockey Agyeman and the wide player crossed for Yeats to supply a perfect headed finish. There was a lengthy VAR check but for offside and the goal stood.
