Celtic move level at top

Celtic have moved level on points with Premiership leaders Hearts after a 3-1 victory over Falkirk at Parkhead.

Daizen Maeda was the star of the show, scoring twice and providing an assist to help Martin O'Neill's side maintain their title charge.

The Japanese forward's electrifying performance was essential as Celtic struggled for cohesion in the final third for long periods of the match.

Falkirk put up a brave fight but were ultimately unable to contain Maeda's pace and clinical finishing.

The result sets up a thrilling conclusion to the Scottish season, with three teams still in contention for the league crown.
