The 5-2 victory was a hard-fought one and one that the Celtic boss says he will take full blame for after the home side’s subpar performance.

Rodgers made eight changes to the Celtic team that defeated Slovan Bratislava just four days earlier and, to be fair, it showed.

Falkirk took advantage of that with a fine display of attacking and pressing football but, in the end, Celtic’s quality shone through after Rodgers made four changes on the 70th-minute mark.

All four subs made an immediate impact but Falkirk captain, Coll Donaldson was just happy that one player wasn’t called upon by the Celtic boss.

Rodgers called upon Arne Engels, Nicolas Kuhn, Hyunjun Yang and Greg Taylor to reverse the 2-1 deficit for Celtic.

And whilst the changes had a devastating impact, Donaldson was just happy the Celtic boss didn’t throw on Kyogo Furuhashi as well.

Donaldson said The Big Scottish Football Podcast, “Well, Kyogo was still warming up. So Kyogo was the one that I was like, oh please, just didn’t bring him on.
