Our next match prediction sees John McGlynne's Falkirk host Celtic in a midweek Scottish Premiership tie. Both the Bairns and the Hoops are in similar form heading into this game, which will be the second game of Martin O'Neill's second spell as interim manager at Celtic this season.
Currently in the league table, Falkirk occupy sixth spot in the table, although they are somewhat adrift of the teams above and below them. They have 30 points from their 21 games, five behind Hibs above them and five in front of Aberdeen and Dundee United below them in the table. Celtic currently lie third with 41 points from 21 games, three behind Rangers in second and six behind Hearts at the top of the table.
Falkirk come into this game with three wins in their last four. That run started with a 1-0 away win at Kilmarnock which was followed by a 1-0 defeat away to Dundee. Falkirk then beat Aberdeen 1-0 at home before last weekend's road game away to St. Mirren where they came away with an excellent 2-0 victory.
Under Wilfried Nancy, Celtic lost two of his last three games in charge. A 4-2 win at Livingstone was followed by a 2-0 loss away to Motherwell and then a 3-1 home defeat to Rangers. Martin O'Neill was re-appointed interim manager after that game and led Celtic to a 4-0 home win over Dundee United at the weekend.

Our Falkirk vs Celtic Prediction
Our prediction for the Falkirk vs. Celtic Scottish Premiership match is: Celtic wins.
There is a stark contrast between the form Celtic show when under Martin O'Neill this season compared to Brendan Rodgers and Wilifried Nancy. With eight wins from nine games, O'Neill certainly knows how to get the best from the team, and quickly. Falkirk have a dire record, home and away, against Celtic and it is hard to make a case for them to get anything from the game on Wednesday night.
