High-scoring encounter in Falkirk
Rangers have experienced a rare three-game losing run of late, after losing 3-1 at Old Firm rivals Celtic FC and 2-1 to Hearts Of Midlothian FC in their last two games. Rangers sit 3rd in the Premiership - Championship Round 2026 table, with 69 points from 36 matches, while Falkirk occupy 6th with 49 points.
Rangers are the clear favourites for this game at 22/25, while Falkirk are 277/100 and the draw is 14/5, although with both sides having wobbled in recent weeks and Falkirk proving a tough nut for Rangers to crack in recent times, the draw looks an intriguing option.
Rangers’ game plan will differ to Falkirk
John McGlynn’s Falkirk are an aggressive team that have some serious bite and can play at a high tempo.
The Bairn’s plan of attack involves playing with maximum energy in short pressing bursts, playing direct transitions and looking to overload the wings.
Falkirk have won one and lost four of their last five and were beaten 1-3 by Hibernian FC at home just three days ago.
Rangers are a more measured team than Falkirk and prefer a more organised build-up with their play involving positional discipline, vertical passing and calculated pressing.
Danny Roehl’s men have won eight, drawn seven and lost three of their 18 away games, conceding just 20 goals away from home, and have lost their last three matches.
Side with the away side
Ben Broggio is Falkirk’s main attacking outlet, he has scored two goals in his last five appearances and one goal in three Championship Round games. Dujon Sterling has played up front for Rangers in their three games so far in the Championship Round, he has one goal in those three games and looks a solid option to get on the scoreboard against Falkirk.
With the recent defensive frailties of both sides and both managers looking for an immediate attacking outlet, the ‘Both teams to score - Yes’ market at 33/50 looks excellent value in this game. Rangers have the greater quality and should have enough to come away with all three points against their plucky hosts in what will no doubt be an end-to-end game with Falkirk playing with less pressure but plenty of local pride, while Rangers are still in the title race.
