Celtic Secures 3-1 Victory Over Falkirk in Split Opener

On Saturday afternoon, Celtic achieved a significant win in the first game of the split, defeating Falkirk 3-1 at home in a crucial and hard-fought match.

Several players delivered solid performances, including Kieran Tierney, Sebastian Tounekti, and Liam Scales, among others.

However, Daizen Maeda stood out, netting a brace and assisting Tierney’s goal. His contributions effectively secured all three points for the team.

As a result, the Japanese international has been officially recognized by the SPFL, earning a spot in their team of the week for round 34 and being named the “Star Man” of the gameweek.

The full team includes: Prior; O’Donnell, Molloy, Hamilton, Ferry; Kerjota, Anderson, Slater, Duncan; O’Hara, Maeda. Notably, the Celtic forward is the only representative from the Hoops, but given his decisive impact, it is hard to argue against this selection.

Looking ahead, fans hope for multiple players to join the team of the week after the upcoming match against Hibernian on Sunday, as that would suggest another critical three points for the team. Regardless of the number of players from Martin O’Neill’s side included, the focus remains on securing the win.
