Falkirk Face Uphill Battle Against Celtic at Home

Falkirk’s recent performances against Celtic in all competitions have been nothing short of dismal, with the Scottish Premiership side having lost a staggering 13 of their last 15 encounters. However, the Bairns are looking to buck this trend when they host Celtic at Falkirk Stadium. On the other hand, Celtic is on a hot streak, boasting an impressive record against newly-promoted teams. The Hoops have won 19 out of their last 20 league games against newly-promoted opponents, showing no signs of slowing down. Their only recent defeat came in July 2021, when they fell to a 2-1 loss to Hearts. Falkirk’s home form has been slightly more promising, but even that record is not without its hiccups. The Bairns have lost just one of their last eight home league matches, with the most recent setback coming in December against Hearts when they conceded two goals without reply. As Celtic comes to town, Falkirk will need to dig deep and find a way to overcome their historical struggles against their Glasgow rivals. But with their impressive home form, it’s not entirely out of the question that the Bairns might be able to pull off an upset.
