Celtic vs Falkirk Prediction & Tips | Premiership - Championship Group | FootballTips.app

Celtic advanced to the Scottish Cup final after victory at Hampden last weekend, unlike Falkirk who they take on in their fourth and final Scottish Premiership meeting of the season this weekend.

The Bhoys have Saturday 23rd May in their diary, where they will play Scottish Championship side Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish Cup final, after one of the most bizarre Scottish Cup semi-finals of all-time. Having raced into a two goal lead, the Buddies bounced back to draw 2-2 inside 90 minutes. However, four goals in six extra-time minutes secured Celtic's spot in next month's showpiece. Three points behind Hearts, the Hoops could put the pressure on them and Rangers - both in action on Sunday - with a win.

Falkirk will feel gutted that they won't be returning to Hampden Park to take on this weekend's opponents in the Scottish Cup final, after they lost on penalty kicks to bitter rivals Dunfermline Athletic following their goalless game against the Pars on Saturday afternoon at the national stadium. Perhaps it was stage fright that got the better of the Bairns, but they have had a fantastic return to the top tier and could still finish higher than 6th spot and potentially European football next season.

Celtic have won all three previous league meetings against Falkirk in 2025/26 without conceding a goal, so will hope that trend continues this weekend to keep the pace at the top of the table.
