Celtic sit atop Scotland’s top flight even as a run of six defeats in ten games leaves their European future in doubt.

Key points

  • Celtic remain league leaders despite a recent run of six defeats in ten games.
  • Rangers are positioned to narrow the gap to Celtic once they complete their pending match.

Martin O'Neill's Celtic have recorded six defeats in their last ten league matches, a run that has raised questions about the club’s consistency, according to live coverage of the Falkirk versus Celtic fixture.

Despite that dip in form, Celtic continue to lead the Scottish Premiership, holding the top spot while their rivals Rangers sit a point behind and could move within striking distance when they play their game in hand.
