Celtic is set to host Falkirk at Celtic Park in the quarter-final of the Scottish League Cup today, following an impressive Champions League win midweek. Falkirk, under manager John McGlynn, will bring strong Championship form into the game, having won all their league matches this season and sitting second in the table. Falkirk’s defense, led by Coll Donaldson, knows the size of the task they face, especially against Celtic’s depth, but they aim to stick to their game plan and make the contest as challenging as possible for Brendan Rodgers’ side.
Falkirk boasts attacking threats like Dylan Tate and Calvin Miller, while goalkeeper Nicky Hogarth has been in fine form. However, Celtic remains the favorite, especially with potential squad rotation to give players like Auston Trusty, Adam Idah, and Alex Valle some minutes.
Rodgers may opt to rest key players like Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, and Greg Taylor, giving others the chance to shine. Despite the changes, Celtic will need to be cautious of Falkirk’s dangerous form and push to secure a semi-final spot.
