Falkirk to finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership has shortened from 13/2 to 7/2 at Betway, with three of five bookmakers now cutting their odds.
The odds on Falkirk to finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership have been slashed from 13/2 to 7/2 with Betway after a commanding home win over Kilmarnock.
Falkirk beat Kilmarnock 3-0 at the Falkirk Stadium on 24 October 2026, climbing to seventh in the table.
Three of five bookmakers have cut their odds on Falkirk to finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership.
William Hill still offer the best price of 4/1, with Betway now down at 7/2.
Striker Jacob Murrell headed in his fifth goal in six matches against Kilmarnock, and he is the man driving this push.
This move comes off the back of results, not rumour. Falkirk swept Kilmarnock aside 3-0 at the Falkirk Stadium in stormy, gale-force conditions, with a Jacob Murrell header arriving alongside two Kilmarnock own goals. The weather made it a messy afternoon, yet the home side still kept the visitors without a single shot on target from their ten attempts, which tells you how little Kilmarnock got out of the fixture.
The win lifted John McGlynn's side to seventh, one place outside the top six, and it followed a victory over Hibernian at Easter Road in which Murrell struck twice before the break. That is the real engine of this market reaction. Betway have cut Falkirk from 13/2 to 7/2, and three of five bookmakers have trimmed their prices, because a striker scoring at this rate changes the sums on a side sitting just outside the cut. Murrell is carrying this push in front of goal, and the odds on Falkirk now reflect it.

Who is favourite to finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership?
Rangers are the favourites at a best price of 1/1000 with William Hill, and the market treats the very top end as little more than a formality. Celtic, Hearts and Dundee Utd are all odds-on too, while Falkirk are tenth-shortest at 4/1 with William Hill despite sitting seventh in the log. That gap between table position and price is the whole angle here: the Scottish Premiership odds still cast Falkirk as outsiders, but the bookmakers are clearly reconsidering how far Murrell's goals can carry them.
Rangers – 1/1000 with William Hill, the favourites and priced as a near-formality.
Celtic – 1/1000 with Betway, another side the market barely questions.
Hearts – 1/33 with Betway, firmly in the frame.
Dundee Utd – 4/6 with William Hill, the most exposed of the odds-on group.
Latest bookmaker offer
What's next for Falkirk in their bid to finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership?
The coming week will tell us whether this move has legs. Falkirk make a midweek trip to Aberdeen at Pittodrie, then host champions Celtic at the Falkirk Stadium the following Sunday. That is one stern outing on the road and one against the best side in the country, and Murrell's form in front of goal is what McGlynn will lean on in both. Our view is that the shortening is earned by what Falkirk have actually produced, and the 4/1 with William Hill is the price worth taking over the shorter quotes elsewhere if you share it. Keep Murrell scoring through this stretch and the odds on Falkirk have further to fall; keep him quiet and the bookmakers will be just as quick to push them back out.
