Celtic have already lost arguably their biggest game of this season. The Hoops had every opportunity to push for a UEFA Champions League run, but they suffered a complete thrashing in the second leg of their qualifiers against LASK.
Celtic were leading by four goals on aggregate after taking the lead in the 23rd minute through Callum McGregor, but they eventually ended the game with a 5-1 loss.
Although they have added two forwards, Kasper Hogh and Camilo Duran, they rarely looked likely to score against LASK on that night. And defensive depth remains a major concern. The backline crumbled under pressure, raising questions about the team’s ability to compete domestically and in Europe this season.
Today, the Bhoys will play their third Premiership match of the season against Falkirk at Celtic Park. It is a good opportunity to put the disappointment of LASK behind them.
When is the kick-off?
The Premiership game between Celtic and Falkirk is scheduled to kick off at 3 pm local time and will be played at Celtic Park.
Where to Watch Celtic vs Falkirk?

Match Preview
After Celtic’s recent failure in the Champions League, it will be interesting to see how they bounce back in this game against Falkirk.
Nothing is guaranteed, though. The visitors are still searching for their first win after suffering a 2-0 defeat against St Mirren and playing out a 0-0 draw against Motherwell. They will be hungry to score their first league goal and secure their first victory.
Could it be an easy win for the Hoops, as in their previous two matches, or could the Falkirk team pull off a surprise against a Celtic side that might still be reeling from the defeat in Austria?
