Celtic 5-2 Falkirk: What the manager said

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers: "It's always a risk making changes," Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers tells Premier Sports. "You could see that connection wasn't quite there for the first hour.

"If there's any blame on the first hour, it's on me. I make the changes. It's a challenge for the guys coming in and I thought they gave everything.

"Falkirk were aggressive and pressed us really well. Full credit to them.

"The objective is to get to there (the semi-finals) and it doesn't really matter who you play.

"Looking at the Aberdeen results, they've been excellent. When it comes round, it will be a good game."
