Celtic vs Falkirk Prediction and Betting Tips 29 August 2026

Celtic return to domestic action looking to put their heartbreaking Champions League defeat to LASK behind them and maintain their perfect start to the new Premiership campaign. The Hoops have won both of their opening league fixtures and will be strong favourites to make it three in a row against newly promoted Falkirk. Martin O’Neill has plenty of depth at his disposal despite the continued absence of Alistair Johnston and Jota, giving him plenty of options to rotate after the demanding European schedule.

Falkirk, meanwhile, have been struggling to find their form, failing to score in either of their opening two matches. They suffered a 2-0 defeat to St. Mirren before playing out a goalless draw with Motherwell, leaving them with just one point from a possible six. Their injury list is also a concern, with Nesbitt, Adams, Tanser, Lang and Laidlaw all sidelined. Against a Celtic side desperate for a response, the visitors face a daunting task.

Celtic have started with two wins, while Falkirk are yet to score this season. Therefore, Home Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Celtic -1.5 and Celtic HT/FT.

This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Saturday 29 August 2026 at 15:00.
