Falkirk are winless in five Scottish Premiership matches, dating back to last season. They travel to face defending champions Celtic in their third fixture of the 2026-27 campaign on Saturday. Celtic are on a nine-match winning streak in the Scottish top flight since last season, and they have won each of their last seven meetings with Falkirk, five of which produced at least three goals. Our prediction backs the hosts to come out on top in a high-scoring contest.
Falkirk kicked off their 2026-27 Premiership campaign with a 2–1 defeat at home to St. Mirren. Their poor run of form in the Scottish top flight continued against Motherwell last time out, when they were held to a 0–0 draw.
The Bairns are now winless in five Premiership matches (D1, L4), dating back to last season. They are unlikely to turn things around on Saturday, having lost each of their last three league visits to Celtic.
Celtic return to domestic league action after a 5–1 defeat away to LASK on Tuesday saw them crash out of the Champions League play-offs 5–4 on aggregate.
They thrashed Kilmarnock 5–1 in their last Premiership match to continue their winning start to the league. The Bhoys enter this clash with nine league wins in a row, dating back to last season. They have won each of their last seven encounters against Falkirk across all competitions, five of which finished with no fewer than three goals.
