Martin O'Neill made the perfect return to Celtic as he led them to a much-needed 4-0 victory against Falkirk in the wake of Brendan Rodgers' shock departure.

The veteran manager was back in the Parkhead dugout after 20 years with "nervous excitement" as he and interim assistant Shaun Maloney looked to get the Hoops back to winning ways after a tumultuous few days.

Johnny Kenny kept his place up front and repaid O'Neill with a first-half double, ramming in on the rebound before heading to make it 2-0.

Falkirk, who were unbeaten in their last three Premiership games, struggled to threaten with Benjamin Nygren turning the ball in before Sebastian Tounetki netted his first Parkhead goal to put the game out of reach.

They are now six points behind leaders Hearts, Falkirk are seventh.
