Falkirk v Rangers: title push meets top-six consolidation | OneFootball

Falkirk host Rangers in the Scottish Premiership at the Falkirk Stadium on Sunday, 12 April 2026, with the visitors chasing the title and the hosts aiming to cement a top six finish.

Falkirk and Rangers have shared the points in both league meetings this season, a 1-1 draw in Falkirk and a goalless stalemate in Glasgow. Rangers arrive second in the table, while Falkirk sit sixth.

Rangers have gathered momentum with three straight league wins, scoring four against Aberdeen and Dundee United after edging past St Mirren away. Falkirk come in off a 3-2 victory at Motherwell, having also hit Kilmarnock for five at home in late February.

Rangers' season profile points to control and threat: 60 league goals, 59% possession and 84.09% passing accuracy, plus 12 clean sheets. Youssef Chermiti leads their league scoring with nine, while James Tavernier has eight and Nicolas Raskin six assists. Their 12 headed goals and steady crossing volume suggest danger from wide delivery.

The Bairns lean on service from the flanks, having attempted 515 open-play crosses at 20.00% accuracy. Calvin Miller tops the Premiership assists chart with eight and adds five goals, while Barney Stewart leads their scoring with eight. If they can establish territory and feed their forwards early, wide areas could prove decisive against a Rangers back line that has conceded only 28.

Rangers are on 66 points in second and a win would move them to 69, which could take them top depending on results elsewhere. The Bairns have 46 points in sixth and victory would push them to 49, strengthening their position in the top half.
