Falkirk v Celtic: top-six push meets title chase | OneFootball

Falkirk host Celtic in the Scottish Premiership at the Falkirk Stadium on Wednesday, 14 January 2026, with third visiting sixth in a meeting that matters for the title race and the top six.

Celtic have won the past four meetings between the sides. Falkirk come in buoyed by back-to-back league wins after beating Aberdeen and St Mirren.

The Bhoys' recent league run reads three wins in five, capped by a 4-0 victory over Dundee United. The Bairns have momentum of their own and have taken six points from their last two outings to steady their top-half bid.

On the pitch, the Hoops' control game is clear. They average 69% possession with 88.31% passing accuracy and have kept 10 clean sheets. Benjamin Nygren has nine league goals, while Daizen Maeda adds seven strikes and five assists, and Kieran Tierney has supplied four assists. The Bairns average 51% of the ball and could lean on end-product from Brian Graham and Calvin Miller, who have four league goals each, with Miller also on four assists.

A Celtic win would move them to 44 points and keep the pressure on the top two in the title race. The Bairns would reach 33 points with victory, strengthening their hold on sixth and their push to stay in the top-six mix.
