Quick Review

It was Celtic who were the more incisive and a Maloney drive from 12 yards was blocked on the line by defender Darren Barr.
Falkirk goalkeeper Jeroen Lambers twice denied long-range efforts from Riordan. And, when the former Hibernian forward did beat Lambers with a 25-yard free-kick, the ball flew past the post.
Stephen O'Donnell prevented a header from Vennegoor of Hesselink sneaking in at the post as the visitors held out until the break.
A Stokes drive struck the post, bounced off Boruc's back and O'Donnell was ruled offside after slotting home the rebound.
Lambers produced another fine save to push clear a Pearson shot on the turn and the midfielder also volleyed over from close range as Celtic were denied a winner before 90 minutes were up.
Zurawski put Celtic ahead from six yards eight minutes into extra time, But Falkirk replied within a minute, Anthony Stokes firing home after Alan Gow's effort was deflected.
A Vennegoor of Hesselink header struck the Falkirk post, while a Stokes drive forced a fine save from Boruc as both sides pushed for a winner.
Boruc produced a fine save in the dying seconds following a Stokes header, but the match went to penalties.
Both sides scored four penalties and missed two before Jack Ross made no mistake to put pressure on Sno, who shot wide of the post.

Trivia

Celtic go out of the CIS Insurance Cup after a penalty shoot-out miss from Evander Sno.
