Despite losing three key players - Jackie McNamara, Burton O'Brien and Kjartan Finnbogason - from a squad already stretched after budget cuts, May's side claimed a point against the SPL's top side.[LNB]The Bairns had twice led Celtic but trailed 3-2 until Mark Stewart's 83rd-minute equaliser.[LNB]"Football's a funny thing - you can put out your strongest team and get beaten," May told Sky Sports. "We deserved a point. Should we have won it? Well, Celtic created a number of chances so I think a draw was about right."[LNB]Falkirk are still without a win this season and remain bottom but May was heartened by his team's fighting qualities.[LNB]He added: "It's important to show the home crowd that we are willing to do the things needed to stay in the league."[LNB]Celtic boss Tony Mowbray admitted the Europa League trip to Hamburg might have resulted in a lacklustre performance from his players.[LNB]He told Sky Sports: "I'm trying to find excuses. We had a high-energy, high-emotion game against Hamburg on Thursday.[LNB]"I think we know as a team we have to defend better, and it's very disappointing to concede three goals."[LNB][LNB]
