Falkirk have drifted to 6/1, out from 3/1 with Bet Victor, with three bookmakers easing odds on Falkirk to finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership.
The odds on Falkirk to finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership have eased out to 6/1 with Bet Victor after a stoppage-time sucker punch at home to Dundee FC.
Falkirk were beaten 2-1 by Dundee FC at the Falkirk Stadium on Saturday after leading at the break.
Falkirk are priced at a best price of 6/1 with Bet Victor for a top-six finish.
Hearts remain streets clear at the top of the market at 1/50 with Bet Victor, while Falkirk now sit way out on the fringes of the picture.
John McGlynn's side now need a response fast if the top six is still realistic.
This one will sting. Falkirk did the hard part when Jacob Murrell rolled home a penalty after Callum Jones brought down Finley Barbrook, and for a long spell the home side looked comfortable. Dundee FC grew into it after the break, though. Owen Bevan headed them level from a Drey Wright delivery, and then substitute Ashley Hay pounced from close range in stoppage time after an Ethan Hamilton free-kick. Points dropped from a winning position, at home, in the dying seconds, is the kind of late leak that would have any dressing room seething.
The worry is that this is starting to look like a pattern. In their previous outing, Falkirk went in front at St. Johnstone through E. Ross, only for E. Alic to equalise and leave it 1-1. So that's two straight games where they've got their noses in front and come away without the win. Getting ahead clearly isn't the problem for Falkirk. Holding on is. The bookmakers have reacted accordingly, with Falkirk now out to 6/1 with Bet Victor for a top-six finish. That looks like a fair correction rather than an overreaction.

How do the odds on Falkirk to finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership compare?
Of the realistic contenders, Hearts are the favourites at a best price of 1/50 with Bet Victor, with the Old Firm priced so short that they're practically settled already. Hibernian are the strongest of the rest, still odds-on with Bet Victor. Falkirk sit out at 6/1 with Bet Victor, which puts them firmly on the wrong side of the top-six line in the bookies' eyes. In plain terms, the market sees them as outsiders now, not a club in the mix, and that is where the value argument starts and stops.
Celtic – 1/1000 with Bet Victor, effectively off the board.
Rangers – 1/1000 with Bet Victor, priced as close to a formality as you'll see.
Hearts – 1/50 with Bet Victor, the favourites among the realistic contenders.
Hibernian – 8/13 with Bet Victor, and Falkirk's very next opponents.

Can Falkirk finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership?
The fixture list gives them no breathing room. Falkirk go to Hibernian next, and Hibs are one of the clubs the market already backs to finish in the top half, so it's a straight shootout with a direct rival on the road. Kilmarnock come to the Falkirk Stadium after that. On recent outings, Murrell and Ross have shown that McGlynn's side can get in front. The question is whether they can see a game out. Until they turn one of those leads into three points, this market is one to leave alone. A big result at Easter Road would change the picture quickly, but right now the drift looks justified.
