Competition: Scottish Premiership

Market: Goal to be scored in both halves

Odds: 7/10 @ Pribet

Signing off the 2025/26 Premiership campaign this weekend and really limping their way over the finishing line, a struggling Rangers will travel to Falkirk on Saturday lunchtime.

Starting with the hosts, while Falkirk might have sprung an almighty upset this season as they secured a top-half finish among Scotland’s elite, the Bairns have failed to find any kind of fluidity on either side of March’s international break. Last seen earlier in the week falling to a routine 3-0 loss at the hands of Premiership leaders Hearts, John McGlynn’s men have lost four of their previous five showdowns against top-flight opposition. Signing off April with a 3-1 defeat against Scottish heavyweights Celtic, the former Livingston boss also has a real headache over his side’s defensive struggles. Likewise, watching their Scottish Cup adventure come to a shock end against Championship outfit Dunfermline, Falkirk have notched just a single top-flight clean sheet since way back on February 11th. Shipping six goals in their back-to-back defeats over the past week, they should also be concerned by their most recent showdown against Saturday’s guests. In fact, McGlynn’s men fell to a rollercoaster 6-3 loss when they welcomed Rangers to town for a Premiership showdown back on April 4th.

As for the visitors, while Rangers might have found themselves at the heart of a genuine title chase just a matter of weeks ago, Danny Rohl’s side have come crashing back down to earth in an infamous fashion. Coming under even more scrutiny earlier in the week as they slumped to a shock 2-1 loss at home against Hibernian, the former Sheffield Wednesday boss also has some serious pressure mounting on his shoulders at Ibrox. With large sections of the Rangers fanbase making their frustrations abundantly clear and demanding yet another change in the dugout, Rangers have remarkably lost all of their previous four consecutive Premiership appearances by an aggregate score of 10-5. Signing off April with an action-packed 3-2 defeat against Motherwell, Saturday’s guests have shown their own glaring defensive struggles. Including a 3-1 drumming against arch-rivals Celtic last weekend, Rohl’s struggling squad have failed to win any of their last nine straight showdowns. With Saturday’s opponents playing out a thrilling nine-goal thriller when they met on April 12th, we could be treated to another thriller here.
