Celtic look to tighten the title race as they take on Falkirk in the Premiership round 24. As Falkirk suit Celtic, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. The reigning champions remain one of the Premiership’s strongest home sides, taking 2.25 points per game at Celtic Park and scoring a massive 3.00 goals per home match, backed by impressive metrics such as 2.42 xG at home. Defensively they’ve been less convincing, conceding 1.50 goals per home match and keeping just 25% clean sheets, which may give Falkirk some encouragement. Defender Auston Trusty is banned, but should be the only absentee in the home team.
Falkirk travel to Glasgow with confidence after demolishing Hibernian 4–1 last weekend, and with no fresh injury worries. Their numbers are steady rather than spectacular, averaging 1.40 PPG across all venues with a compact defensive profile (only 0.90 goals conceded per match). The main concern is their lack of goals: Falkirk have failed to score in 50% of all league games and average just 0.90 goals per match.
History strongly favours the hosts: five meetings, five Celtic wins, with 4 of 5 going over 2.5 goals. Given the Hoops' title ambitions, Home Win is our main betting tip, alongside Celtic/Celtic and Over 2.5 goals as Celtic home matches average 4.50 goals.
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Sunday 1 February 2026 at 15:00.
