We said: Celtic 4-0 Falkirk

Although Falkirk have had a strong start to the season, Celtic appear unstoppable in their early matches and will be heavy favourites thanks to their superior squad and home advantage. The Bhoys have conceded just twice all campaign and are unlikely to allow Falkirk many opportunities, while their attacking players should cause plenty of trouble, suggesting this will be a big victory for the hosts.
