Last week's defeat at St Johnstone means the Bairns have yet to register a win from their opening 10 fixtures in the SPL and find themselves rooted at the foot of the table, four points adrift of the nearest side.

Celtic, meanwhile, are top of the pile in the league and will be
looking to increase their lead over their nearest challengers.

Falkirk boss Eddie May knows it will be a huge ask for the Bairns to bank their first three points of the campaign, but refused to rule out getting something out the game.

"I have played in Falkirk teams that have beaten Celtic so it's certainly not impossible," he said.

"But it doesn't matter about Celtic. We have to be perform at our very highest level, which we have only shown in some games this season, and that must be the case on Sunday."

The Westfield side will be without the experience of Burton O' Brien and Jackie McNamara, who suffered knee ligament damage during the loss at Perth.

Former fans' favourite Pedro Moutinho, who agreed a two month deal earlier this week, could make an appearance if he gets international clearance from the Portuguese FA before kick-off.

A full match report of the game will go online on Sunday night.
