McGeady’s late cracker earns Bhoys the points

CELTIC manager Gordon Strachan insists he was always confident his side would get the winner in their Bank of Scotland Premier League match at Falkirk.

Four minutes from the end of a captivating 90 minutes, a powerful strike by Republic of Ireland midfielder Aiden McGeady gave the Hoops’ three points and kept the Parkhead men top of the SPL.

The home side had held their own for most of the game but were left devastated when McGeady combined with substitute Shaun Maloney before driving past keeper Scott Higgins.
