Celtic are hoping to manage back-to-back wins under Martin O’Neill when they face Falkirk.

This will be the Hoops’ first Scottish Premiership away match against Falkirk since Robbie Keane’s brace in 2010.

With Hearts also in action at the same time, three points are vital to move back into second and keep in touching distance of the league leaders.

After a convincing win against Dundee United, it is time to see if the Bhoys can replicate that with a midweek performance.

Once again it will be the same players out injured (Cameron Carter-Vickers, Alistair Johnston, Marcelo Saracchi, Jota, Kelechi Iheanacho, and Callum Osmand) for the midweek game.

Stephen Welsh has been recalled by Celtic and will be available for selection, which could put Auston Trusty at risk of losing his place.
