Celtic beat Falkirk 2-1 to preserve their perfect domestic start, with Camilo Durán scoring twice in his preferred centre-forward role. The result lifted the mood after Celtic’s heavy Champions League qualifying defeat by LASK, although supporters again voiced frustration at the board’s European record and recruitment ambitions.

Durán struck twice inside the opening 29 minutes and created further opportunities before Falkirk responded through Colby Donovan’s 72nd-minute own goal. Elsewhere, Hearts moved second after beating St Johnstone 2-1, while Dundee United won 4-0 at Kilmarnock as manager Jim Goodwin remained in hospital with an ongoing medical matter; Kilmarnock stayed bottom after conceding 13 goals in three league matches.
