📊 Recent form

Celtic go into the tie on a run of six straight league wins, moving from a 1-0 victory over St Mirren through wins against Falkirk, Hibernian, Rangers, Motherwell and Hearts. Away from home, Celtic have won three in a row since the defeat at Dundee United, scoring twice in each of those victories.

Dunfermline’s recent league form has been mixed: a 3-0 win at Ayr United was followed by defeat at Partick Thistle, a draw at Airdrieonians, defeat to St Johnstone, victory at Queen’s Park and a goalless draw with Arbroath. Their home league form had been strong before that St Johnstone defeat and Arbroath draw, with four straight home wins immediately before them.
