Celtic v Falkirk: perfect-start hosts meet goalless visitors | OneFootball

Celtic host Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership at Celtic Park on Saturday, 29 August 2026, with the leaders aiming to extend a perfect start while the visitors chase their first league goal from 10th place.

Celtic have won all seven of the recent meetings listed against Falkirk, including a 3-1 home victory in April, and sit top after two wins from two. The visitors are 10th with one point from a draw at Motherwell and a home defeat to St Mirren.

The Bhoys have scored six league goals in two games, backed by 64% possession and 88.48% passing accuracy, and have fired 40 total shots. The Bairns are yet to score, with nine attempts so far, but do have one clean sheet from that opening draw.

Kasper Hoegh leads the Premiership scoring chart with three goals, while Benjamin Nygren has two and an assist. The Hoops' width and delivery could matter again, with three headed goals and 28.57% cross accuracy from open play. The Bairns have sent in 35 open-play crosses at 22.86% accuracy, which may be a route to finally breaking through.

A home win would take the Hoops to nine points and could tighten their grip on top spot. An away victory would lift the Bairns to four points and may move them away from the bottom places, while even a draw would nudge them forward in the early season scramble.
