I keep changing my mind from week to week about who's going to win the title!
Celtic are right in there and the atmosphere here was just fabulous.

So, who are Hearts and Rangers up against on Sunday?
Motherwell visit Ibrox, while a derby at Easter Road awaits the league leaders.
Those two could be absolute belters!

This result for Celtic was based on hard work, and that's what they've got to do now in all their games.
Maeda was different class.
FT: Celtic 3-1 Falkirk
Daizen Maeda is now into double figures for goals (11).
A far cry from the 34 he got last season but having him hit form for the split would be a huge bonus for the defending champions.
FT: Celtic 3-1 Falkirk
Falkirk certainly made a good game of it, but Celtic are worthy winners.
Way more energy than we've seen from Martin O'Neill's team in recent weeks.
Not long to wait for highlights.
Sportscene starts at 20:00 BST on BBC Scotland.
A quick turnaround for the Celtic edit!
Daizen Maeda is the Celtic hero today, with two goals and an assist.
The champions are level on points with Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts and one ahead of Rangers.
Those two play tomorrow.

Corner to Falkirk. Headed away by Auston Trusty.
Another corner. Liam Scales deals with this one.
Celtic 3-1 Falkirk
We're getting three extra minutes.
Celtic 3-1 Falkirk
Hat-trick for Daizen Maeda?
No. He's just got the goalie to beat but stretching on his right foot and sends it wide.
Looks like he might have been offside anyway.
Celtic 3-1 Falkirk
There's a fair few sun-skelped faces in among the celebrating Celtic support.
They won't care.
Until tomorrow morning...

It's great play by Tounekti, it's a really, really good ball in.
A great finish too, there was pace on the ball, and he just had to direct it in.

Daizen Maeda
Celtic Park erupts as Daizen Maeda knocks in his second goal of the evening.
The Japan forward is left all alone to meet a low cross from Sebastian Tounekti and his first-time strike curls low into the corner of the net.
Celtic 2-1 Falkirk
Kyrell Wilson skins Marcelo Saracchi on the touchline then cuts inside to have a lash. The shot is deflected into the hands of Viljami Sinisalo.
The Falkirk sub has been a real handful.
Celtic 2-1 Falkirk
Liam Scales glances a corner on target and Nicky Hogarth shows good reflexes to tip the ball over.
Celtic 2-1 Falkirk
With 78 minutes on the clock, Celtic captain Callum McGregor departs, replaced by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Nicky Hogarth pushes away a free-kick from Benjamin Nygren. A good effort from a long way out, but the keeper could see it all the way.
Celtic 2-1 Falkirk
Dylan Tait catches the shin of Arne Engels and he's not getting away with this one.
Celtic 2-1 Falkirk
This is Alistair Johnston's first appearance since October, just a sixth appearance of the season for the Canada international.
Celtic 2-1 Falkirk
Celtic switch their full-backs, with Marcelo Saracchi and Alistair Johnston taking over from Kieran Tierney and Anthony Ralston.
There's a change up top too as Yang Hyun-Jun is replaced by Kelechi Iheanacho.
Celtic 2-1 Falkirk
Still buzzing with adrenaline after that goal, Kyrell Wilson is late with a challenge on Kieran Tieney.
