Title odds: Falkirk best backed team in Scotland so far ahead of Old Firm duo
Falkirk under recently-appointed manager John McGlynn’s stewardship are a force to reckoned with – or at least that is what the punters think.
Online betting website McBookie have confirmed the Bairns are the best backed team in Scotland so far to lift a title, with the likes of Celtic and Rangers in behind the League 1 side.
After topping Group D in the Premier Sports Cup, Falkirk are now favourites to lift the third tier trophy ahead of rivals Dunfermline Athletic.
They are now priced at 5/2, meaning if you put on a £10 bet, you would recoup £35.
