From the source
Celtic slumped to a 2-0 defeat at Falkirk on Sunday to ramp up the scrutiny on manager Martin O’Neill after a run of three wins in 10 games.
The Scottish champions had the chance to extend their lead at the top of the table to seven points, but never recovered from conceding a third-minute opener to Ethan Ross.
Scott Tanser scored a second before half-time and the Bairns even had a third goal ruled out by a video assistant referee review for handball against Jacob Murrell.
