Final score: Falkirk 2–0 Celtic

Match preview

This Halloween clash sees Premiership strugglers Celtic make the trip to a Falkirk side enjoying a surprisingly strong season. Despite their lofty league position of 14 wins, 7 draws, and 15 losses, Falkirk's recent form has been inconsistent, winning two and losing three of their last five. They've found the net 48 times but conceded 54, highlighting a potential vulnerability at the back that Celtic, despite their own struggles, might exploit.

Celtic arrive with a win rate of 40% (4W 2D 4L) and a mixed recent record of two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five. Their goal difference of 15 scored and 19 conceded suggests a team struggling to find consistency at both ends. Historically, this fixture heavily favours Celtic, who have dominated recent encounters, winning four of the last five. However, the bookmakers see this as an open contest, with a 45% chance for both an away win and a draw, and a slim 10% for a Falkirk upset. Watch for Falkirk's attacking intent against Celtic's desire to break their historical dominance on home turf.
