Celtic’s Colby Donovan sees boot split during Premiership win over Falkirk | OneFootball

A bizarre moment lit up Celtic's 2-1 home win over Falkirk on Saturday, in the fourth round of the Premiership. Young defender Colby Donovan saw his boot split during a challenge, forcing a brief exit.

According to L'Équipe, the incident happened during a duel with striker Ben Parkinson. Donovan's Nike Mercural Vapor came apart, the sole detaching from the upper and exposing his foot.

The 19-year-old right-back, a homegrown player, returned after changing boots. Images of the mishap drew laughter on social media.

Back on the pitch, he later put through his own net in the second half. The own goal did not compromise Celtic's victory.

Celtic, the league leaders, will host Aberdeen on Tuesday.
