CELTIC take on Falkirk at Parkhead this afternoon as they pursue three much-needed points in their bid for a fifth successive title.
The champions are nine points adrift with a game in hand after leaders Hearts’ 3-0 win over Dundee United at Tannadice last night.
This is the fourth time the Hoops have faced John McGlynn’s team in this campaign with a 100 per cent record so far.
However, they were given a warning of what to expect today by a fired-up Falkirk in last month’s meeting when only a Benjamin Nygren goal and an excellent performance from Kasper Schmeichel gave them a 1-0 triumph.
