John Hughes's side have already knocked Celtic out of the CIS Insurance Cup and beaten Rangers in the league and, with the likes of on-loan starlet Anthony Stokes scoring goals for fun, there seems little chance of an easy three-points for the Hoops. In his pre-match press conference, Strachan said: "I am looking forward to it. We have had some close games with them this year.
They are a good side, they had a good result again last weekend, they have taken a few big results, but we will have to be sure that it`s not a big result for Falkirk tomorrow. "They seem to like the big occasions, we have to make sure that they don`t like the big occasion tomorrow. Our big players have got to be big and athletic and hopefully, with all these together, tomorrow we can give Falkirk a good game.
" Despite all the talk, John Hughes himself has already warned his players that the atmosphere at Parkhead will be completely different to when they won on penalties in the CIS Insurance Cup - and with Aberdeen hosting Rangers tomorrow, a win could result in an even bigger lead at the top of the table. However, Celtic will have to make do without Mark Wilson, who is expected to be out for two months because of the knee injury he sustained against Rangers at the weekend ( ). Shaun Maloney and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink are both returning to match-fitness but will not be ready for the Falkirk match, while Gary Caldwell is still on the sidelines.
