Strachan: nerves not a problem for Bhoys

CELTIC manager Gordon Strachan insists his side are not being afflicted by nerves as they stumble towards retaining the SPL title.

Strachan watched Craig Beattie miss a seventh-minute penalty and then saw Celtic pass up a host of other chances in Sunday’s 1-0 defeat at Falkirk as Steven Thomson claimed the Bairns’ winner.

The Parkhead side have now lost three straight games after the Champions League last-16 exit to AC Milan in Italy and the home Old Firm defeat from arch rivals Rangers.
