Buoyant Bairns are a different beast this year after summer rebuild… and that spells bad news for Celtic

The Daily Mail argues that Falkirk's recent resurgence and gritty run of form make them a major threat to Celtic ahead of their upcoming clash. Following an extensive summer rebuild overseen by manager John McGlynn, Falkirk have won three consecutive Scottish Premiership matches, including victories against Kilmarnock and Aberdeen, to overturn a sluggish start to the campaign.

The piece highlights striker Jacob Murrell, who has scored five goals in his last seven appearances, alongside contributions from Derby County loanee Owen Eames. Despite losing ten consecutive matches against Celtic, the author contends that Falkirk's newfound defensive solidity and effective counter-attacking play present a prime opportunity to upset the league leaders.
