Celtic will aim to go level on points with Hearts at the top of the Scottish Premiership this weekend - for a day at least - as they welcome Falkirk for their opening split fixture at Celtic Park on Saturday (kick-off: 5.30pm).
Playing 24 hours before title rivals Hearts and Rangers, Celtic will look to take maximum points against John McGlynn’s side as they look to apply pressure on both challengers ahead of their fixtures the following day.
Martin O’Neill’s men will be boosted by their 6-2 Scottish Cup semi-final win against St Mirren on Sunday, though they’ll face a wounded Falkirk side who will be desperate to respond after losing the competition’s other game against rivals Dunfermline Athletic on penalties at Hampden Park a day earlier.
Ahead of the game at Celtic Park, The Scotsman has all the latest team news.
