Falkirk host Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. Celtic have been picking up wins consistently this season, while Falkirk have found results much harder to come by in the same spell.

These two sides have faced each other several times over the past couple of seasons, and that history gives a useful starting point before getting into the current numbers.

Attacking threats to watch

Everything in the data, form, table position, head-to-head, leans one way here. Celtic look the far stronger side going into this one.

Without a market to assess against that picture, we're not in a position to make a selection this time. The underlying case for Celtic is strong, but a pass is the honest call until there's a price to weigh it against.
