Celtic will have two new faces in the dugout for their game against Falkirk on Wednesday night.

Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney have returned to Parkhead on an interim basis after Brendan Rodgers resigned.

O’Neill admitted to being shocked about returning to the club 20 years on from when he did so in 2005, but will have no time to dwell as the Hoops face a must-win game in the Scottish Premiership.

Defeat to Hearts leaves the Bhoys eight points adrift in second place and they cannot afford to slip up any more.
