Old Firm the top two, but are Falkirk this season’s surprise package?

Falkirk have surged to third in the Scottish Premiership following five consecutive league wins under manager John McGlynn. Celtic remain top of the table, sitting four points ahead of unbeaten Rangers, who have played one game fewer. Meanwhile, Aberdeen are reportedly considering the future of manager Stephen Robinson after falling to 11th place following a 4-0 defeat against Hibernian.

Falkirk defeated Hearts 5-2 at Tynecastle, ending their opponents' 19-month home unbeaten streak, led by forward Jacob Murrell who has scored seven goals this season. Celtic secured a 1-0 win over Kilmarnock under Martin O'Neill, while Derek McInnes's Rangers side continued their domestic unbeaten run since August.
