Falkirk prepare to entertain Celtic at The Falkirk Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 18 of the 80 games played, and losing 41.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Falkirk Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2007, the Bairns carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
