Goal Statistics

Celtic's defensive record is very strong, M. O'Neill's men having conceded 1 or less in 9 consecutive Premiership matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Falkirk makes sense in this context.

A PG of 2.0 is decent for Celtic in their meeting with Falkirk, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 40 consecutive Premiership games.
