Celtic Dominates Falkirk in Scottish Premiership Rematch

Sky Sports Champions League •
×

Celtic have extended their dominance over Falkirk with an eighth consecutive victory in all competitions, a streak only interrupted once in their history between 1950 and 1954. The Bairns have lost 16 of their last 18 trips to Celtic Park since 1994, with their most recent win coming in October 1994 under Jim Jefferies. This season, Celtic have won their first post-split game every season, tallying 17-1 aggregate scores, and avoided defeat in their last 34 matches against Falkirk. Falkirk's away form remains erratic, having alternated wins and losses in their last seven road games, including a 3-2 victory at Motherwell followed by a defeat to Rangers. Celtic leads the league in high turnovers (256), shot-ending duels (49), and pressing sequences (442), while allowing the fewest opposition passes per defensive action (9.6).
