Falkirk v Rangers: visitors seek to halt slide as hosts eye strong finish | OneFootball

Falkirk host Rangers in the Scottish Premiership at the Falkirk Stadium on Saturday, 16 May 2026, with third visiting sixth in the Championship group and both sides chasing a positive end to the phase.

The sides drew twice earlier in the campaign before Rangers won 6-3 here in April. The visitors arrive on a four-game league losing run, while Falkirk have taken one win from their past five league matches.

Rangers' season profile points to control and punch in the final third, with 71 league goals, 58% possession and 83.75% passing accuracy. Youssef Chermiti leads their chart with 12 league goals, while James Tavernier and Nicolas Raskin provide additional end product. The Bairns have conceded 57 league goals, so managing Rangers' crossing threat and 13 headed goals could prove decisive.

For the hosts, Calvin Miller's nine league assists headline their supply, with Barney Stewart on eight goals. The Bairns may look to attack quickly and use Miller's delivery to disrupt a back line that has conceded 41 in the league, though Rangers' setup typically keeps the ball well and could pin them back.

Rangers sit third on 69 points and would move to 72 with a win, keeping pressure on the top two. The Bairns are on 49 points and could climb to 52, strengthening their grip on sixth in the Championship group.
