FRINGE SHOW IS A BIG HIT

DANE MURRAY celebrated his new contract with his first Celtic goal as the holders thrashed Falkirk in the Premier Sports Cup to reach the quarterfinals.

The 22-year-old defender headed home his side’s third goal at Parkhead, with a Hoops lineup featuring a host of fringe men proving far too strong for the Premiership newcomers.

Murray, who has already overcome two separate cruciate ligament injuries in his career, earlier signed a new deal that keeps him at the club until 2028.

Daizen Maeda and Alistair Johnston were also on target and Falkirk defender Liam Henderson put through his own net before Keelan Adams scored an impressive consolation goal for the Premiership newcomers.
