Falkirk – Scottish Premiership Form and Betting Odds

• Falkirk head into Sunday’s encounter following three consecutive Premiership victories. The Bairns beat Hibernian 2-1 before securing a convincing 3-0 success over Kilmarnock. John McGlynn’s side then recorded a narrow 1-0 victory away at Aberdeen on Wednesday. Those results have lifted Falkirk into sixth place with 15 points from 11 league fixtures.
• Falkirk have conceded just 12 goals this season, with only Celtic and Rangers boasting better records, something they’ll be looking to build on in Sunday’s clash.
• However, Falkirk have struggled against Celtic in recent meetings, losing each of their last five Premiership encounters, that includes a narrow 2-1 defeat at Celtic Park earlier this season, with William Hill pricing the Bairns at 24/5 to cause an upset.

Celtic – Scottish Premiership Form and Betting Odds

• Celtic were held to a 2-2 draw by Dundee United on Wednesday, ending their three-match Premiership winning run. Martin O’Neill’s side have struggled for consistency across all competitions, winning just three of their last nine fixtures. However, their domestic results have been enough to maintain a narrow advantage at the top of the table.
• Goals remain a major strength for Celtic, who have scored 27 times in their opening 11 Premiership matches. The Bhoys have also conceded just eight league goals, giving them the division’s strongest defensive record. However, Celtic have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three league fixtures, suggesting there could be opportunities for Falkirk.
• The visitors have enjoyed an outstanding away record in the Premiership this season, winning all five of their opening fixtures on the road, punters can back the champions leaders at 4/9 with William Hill to secure another three points.
