While he has a strong passion for the SPFL, Grant is equally adept at crafting content on all of Europe’s major leagues, whether it be the Premier League or further afield. When not crunching the numbers and analysing the stats, Grant can often be found following his beloved Falkirk up and down the country.
Celtic will begin their defence of the Scottish League Cup trophy with a home game against Falkirk on Friday night.
Unsurprisingly, Celtic are short-priced 1.09 favourites with a Falkirk triumph trading at a towering 12.0, while the 90-minute draw is also considered improbable at 6.4.

Celtic are one of only two teams to have won each of their opening two Scottish Premiership matches of the season. After kicking off their top-flight campaign with an unconvincing 1-0 win over St Mirren, the Hoops were much-improved when claiming a 2-0 success away at Aberdeen on Sunday.
Brendan Rodgers’ side dominated possession (72%) and won the xG battle 1.24 to 0.48, restricting the Dons to just two on-target efforts.
Celtic have racked up a combined total of 18 corners across their opening two Scottish Premiership games of the season, including 12 in their previous home match with St Mirren.
⚫ Bairns Well Beaten
As mentioned, Falkirk found themselves on the wrong end of a 3-1 defeat at Livingston on Saturday. Going forward, John McGlynn’s men were lacking the creativity and ability required to find a way through a typically well-structured Livingston side, with the goal Falkirk did score coming from a set piece. At the other end of the park, the Bairns gave up an xG of 1.59, with Livingston hitting the target with five of their nine attempts on goal.
Defensive errors have been a common theme for Falkirk during the early weeks of the season, with attempting to play out from the back being a factor.
📊 Celtic v Falkirk H2H
As already alluded to, Celtic claimed a 5-2 win over Falkirk at this venue at the quarter-final stage of last season’s Scottish League Cup. That was the first meeting between the two clubs since contesting a Scottish Cup tie back in 2021, with Celtic running out 3-0 winners on that occasion.
