Rangers should have enough to see off Bairns
A tight and tense contest is likely in Sunday’s Premiership clash at Ibrox between fifth-placed Rangers and sixth-placed Falkirk, two teams that have enjoyed some success so far in the Premiership 2025-2026 campaign. According to our Glasgow Rangers FC vs Falkirk FC prediction, both sides come into the match with considerable strengths that could make this an intriguing encounter.
The Gers have collected 21 points from their opening 12 matches while Falkirk have 19 from 13, leaving both sides in the top half of the table.
John McGlynn’s men, under his guidance since May 2022, have been a breath of fresh air in the league and the disciplined, pragmatic approach they have brought to the table is evident in their performances in the Premiership.
A 1-1 draw at Falkirk seven weeks ago that was followed by a managerial shake-up at Rangers has added a little extra spice to this fixture. With that in mind, this Glasgow Rangers FC vs Falkirk FC preview provides a useful perspective on how both teams have adapted since that last meeting.
Tavernier a talisman for the Gers
Since the appointment of Danny Röhl on October 20th, 2025, the hosts have developed a much more flexible way of playing football that is proving difficult to counter. Röhl’s Rangers can set up to counter-press in an organised manner or transition swiftly to exploit the spaces in behind with high-tempo passing.
The most potent weapon in their armory is James Tavernier, the club’s talisman and top scorer with four goals in 12 Premiership appearances this season. The ex-Waterloo man has also registered three assists in his last five games.
Röhl’s players have won their last two Premiership games - a 3-0 away win at Dundee FC and a 2-1 home victory over Livingston. The away record of McGlynn’s Bairns is a relatively balanced one with three wins and three losses from six, averaging 1.17 goals per game scored and 1.83 conceded, and the latest Glasgow Rangers FC vs Falkirk FC betting tips suggest there could be goals in this matchup.
Falkirk will make it tough for Gers
Falkirk, who are unbeaten in three and come into the game after a 3-0 win away at Dundee United last weekend, will set up shop with a deep, disciplined block and try to hit Rangers on set-pieces and counter-attacks.
Brian Graham is their main threat up front with three goals in 11 appearances, but there are goals in this Falkirk team.
According to the Glasgow Rangers FC vs Falkirk FC prediction, Rangers are heavy favourites to win at 1.37, but the visitors are massive underdogs at 7.47. McGlynn’s team have enough quality and resolve to ensure this will be closer than the odds imply, but Rangers’ superior quality and recent good form should be enough to edge this tie. The odds for Over 2.5 goals are 1.49, which seems quite low for a game with plenty of potential for goals at both ends.
