Scottish Communities League Cup semi-final
Venue: Hampden Park
Date: Sunday, 29 January
Kick-off: 1500 GMT
Falkirk manager Steven Pressley has no injury worries ahead of Sunday's Scottish Communities League Cup semi-final against Celtic at Hampden.
Striker Farid El Alagui has shrugged off muscle tightness and will play.
Celtic defender Daniel Majstorovic could make his first-team return having recovered from a fractured cheekbone.
New signing Rabiu Ibrahim is ineligible while striker Mo Bangura will visit a specialist next week to see if he requires surgery on a knee problem.
"We know we have 90 minutes or 120 minutes and maybe penalties in front of us.
"You don't want to make the same mistakes as we did against Ross County a year or so or any other cup shocks the media keep throwing up at me - I always get reminded of it on these occasions so I thought I would get my retaliation in first.
"It shows the dangers that are there if you take your eyes off the ball."
"It is something that can definitely give us confidence although this is going to be a harder game than either of those two.
"But it is a good opportunity to play at the national stadium. When you are younger you dream of playing at Hampden against big teams like Celtic so what a fantastic opportunity for us and one we will definitely relish.
"We are under no illusions as to how hard the game is going to be but we are not going for a day out, we are really looking forward to it and we will give it our best shot.
"Celtic are expected to win on Sunday. There is no pressure on us at all. They are expected to win leagues and cups every year, we're not and that will suit us."
Finbar says
3-0 Celtic
3-0 Celtic
