Falkirk play host to Celtic at The Falkirk Stadium on Sunday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 17 of the 77 games played, and losing 39.
The last time the two teams met at Falkirk was back in February 1996, over five years ago, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Premier match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Bairns at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Bhoys come away with an easy victory. Away win

| Falkirk | Failed to win in previous 4 home matches. |
| Celtic | 5 successive away victories. 7 games since last away draw. Won each of the previous 3 matches. Last drawn game 4 outings ago. |
