Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has given his take on Johnny Kenny's performance against Falkirk.
The Irish striker was chosen to start while Adam Idah was benched.
Kenny played until the 62nd minute before being replaced by Shin Yamada.
In his post-match press conference, Rodgers was asked about Kenny's part in Celtic's 4-1 win.
He said: "I think he worked very hard.

"He's an honest boy who gives his all in the game, and that's what the team's about.
"[He] didn't have so many chances, a couple of good wee runs, didn't quite drop to him in the box, but I thought he worked very hard and then created the chance then for Shin Yamada to come on."
Kenny did not manage to score but was handed a new contract by Celtic last week, keeping him at the club until at least the summer of 2029.
The Scottish Premiership champions have also recently secured Dane Murray with a new deal, lasting until 2028.
The central defender scored in the win over Falkirk.
Rodgers said after the match: "I think his ceiling's so high.
"There are areas of the game that he needs to clearly, obviously work on.
"But he's 6'4'', he's quick, he can take the ball.
"He has a comfort with the ball which aligns with top players and he just, again, concentration is something that's key for defenders.
"But I really like him and that's hence the reason we've tied him down."
