Celtic made it three league wins out of three with a 2-1 victory over Falkirk at home , courtesy of two goals from Camilo Duran.
And after a tough week for the team, Martin O’Neill was pleased to see his side return to winning ways.
Speaking to CelticPlayer after the game, the Celtic manager said: “The win was the most important thing, it always is.
“It was a tough week for everyone connected to the football club, not just us, but the people who pay their money to come and support us, and we let them down on Tuesday. So we're absolutely delighted to have won the game.
“We played some really, really lovely stuff at times and we could have been out of sight by half-time, a nd we missed some really glorious chances to put the game beyond them.
“I felt at 2-0, Falkirk were never out of the game, as it proved, and when they scored the goal, it was a tough 15 minutes for us.
“It’s been a tough old week, so it's good to win the game. It's the most important thing for us, and we'll get better.”
And the Celtic manager was also delighted with Camilo Duran’s goalscoring exploits, with the Colombian forward playing through the middle in the absence of Kasper Hogh and scoring both goals on the day.
“He's a terrific footballer,” Martin O’Neill said. “I think he's a natural forward, but he's drifted there when Kasper has played centre-forward, and Kasper gives you probably that physical strength as well too.
“Also, Kasper is a goalscorer in and around the penalty area, but Camilo's just a dream to work with.
“His English is getting better, but all we just keep saying to him, ‘son, you're brilliant’.”
