Celtic FC put on a thrilling display at Celtic Park as they charged into the semi-finals of the Premier Sports Cup with a 5-2 victory over Falkirk.

Paulo Bernardo leveled the playing field with a well-placed equalizer, igniting hope among the supporters.

As the game progressed, Celtic’s determination surged back to life, and that's when it became clear that Nicolas Kuhn was the secret weapon they needed. Coming off the bench with the zest of a star ready to shine, Kuhn provided two crucial assists for Adam Idah who in turn, bagged a quickfire brace. Not one to miss out on the party, Kuhn added two goals of his own to make it a memorable night for the fans. Being a literal whirlwind on the pitch, he made sure the Bairns had a lesson on what happens when Celtic's attacking prowess is unleashed.
