With the other contenders at Hampden contesting the League Cup semi-finals, Celtic could pull seven points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership table on Sunday. Well, after only managing a 2-2 draw with Dundee United on Wednesday, Martin O'Neill's team are under pressure to get back to winning ways.
The Celts have won their last ten meetings with Falkirk, dating back to 2010, most-recently beaten by the Bairns in 2007 when Gordon Strachan was manager. However, right now, John McGlynn's team are in excellent form, winning three on the spin, most-recently beating Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
In the reverse fixture in August, Camilo Durán's double saw Celtic battle to a 2-1 victory when the pair met in Glasgow. The last time the Bhoys were in Falkirk, Benjamin Nygren was the only scorer during a hard-fought 1-0 win. So expect another tough test for the champions on Sunday.
