FootyMAD's Glasgow Celtic match preview

History of the Glasgow Celtic v Falkirk fixture

Falkirk face a trip to Glasgow Celtic at Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 60 out of 78 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in September 2004, with Celtic annihilating their visitors 8 - 1 in a Scottish League Cup match.
