Falkirk have seized complete control of their Scottish Premiership match against Celtic, establishing a 2-0 lead at the Falkirk Stadium. The home side took full advantage of a lacklustre Celtic performance, scoring two goals during the first half to put themselves in a commanding position in the Sunday afternoon contest.
The league encounter kicked off at 1:00pm on Sunday, November 1, 2026, and Falkirk wasted no time in making their mark on the proceedings. Just three minutes into the contest, E Ross found the back of the net to give the hosts an early 1-0 advantage, catching Celtic cold and providing the home side with the ideal start.
Falkirk maintained their pressure as the half unfolded, preventing Celtic from getting back into the match. Their efforts were rewarded once again late in the opening half when S Tanser struck in the 38th minute. Tanser's finish doubled the advantage to 2-0, leaving the Celtic side with plenty to ponder after a disjointed and lacklustre showing.
Having been held scoreless through the opening period, Celtic enter the remainder of this Scottish Premiership clash facing a significant two-goal deficit. With goals from Ross and Tanser providing Falkirk with a 2-0 cushion at the Falkirk Stadium, the home team remain in pole position while Celtic must find answers to launch a fightback.
