Celtic return to domestic matters on Sunday after sealing their Europa League play-off spot on Thursday night.
Martin O’Neill can’t stop winning games, and despite Celtic’s frustrations in the January transfer market, he continues to plug away, positive result after positive result.
When O’Neill returned to the Celtic Park dugout in October, his first game back was against Falkirk, and he guided a battered and morale-sapped Hoops to a comfortable 4-0 win.
Fast forward, and Celtic are lighter on their feet, thanks to their legendary coach, as the 67 Hail Hail writers are backing for that winning feeling to continue against Falkirk, including Tomas Cvancara to get some joy.
Let us know your score predictions for Celtic’s home clash against Falkirk…
67 Hail Hail writers predict Celtic vs Falkirk
Even though Falkirk are going great guns in the Premiership this season, sitting sixth in the Premiership table, they can’t seem to see past the champions of Scotland.
In three meetings already this season, including in the League Cup, Celtic have won all three matches, scoring nine goals and only conceding once.
So, will that continue against the newly-promoted side? Cvancara made his debut against Hearts, assisting Hyunjun Yang’s goal, and now he is being backed to get on the scoresheet himself.
Martin Crawford
We’ve played well in our two home games against Falkirk this season, so I’m looking forward to this one.
Hoping to see Cvancara get a goal, expecting him to start. With Aberdeen away straight after this, fixtures are piling up, so O’Neill will have to manage the load as best he can.
Any win will do as always, but I’ll go for 3-0 Celtic: Cvancara brace and McGregor.
Callum Boyle
Feels like we’ve played Falkirk about a million times this season.
We always bag a fair few against them when we play them at home, and I’d expect that to be the same again.
Momentum is high after Thursday, so I think it should be a comfortable afternoon. Something we’ve not been used to this season.
Celtic 4-0 Falkirk.
Paddy Sinat
The feel-good factor Celtic are enjoying under Martin O’Neill will continue this weekend.
With Celtic at home and confidence high, I expect another clean sheet and more goals. Celtic 3 v 0 Falkirk.
Amir Mir
The only question I have is, can Celtic keep a clean sheet against Falkirk? It is the match after a European game in midweek, and sometimes, it can be ugly.
Celtic will need an early goal to avoid that. If that happens, then I feel the Hoops will enjoy themselves and play some free-flowing football, as they have done against Falkirk this term.
Either way, I expect goals and all three points. Martin O’Neill is doing a stellar, stellar job.
4-1 to Celtic, with goals from Daizen Maeda (2), Luke McCowan, and Liam Scales.
