Johansson prepares for “Nemesis” Falkirk

Alfred Johansson is relishing Sunday’s clash with “last year’s nemesis” as his Motherwell side prepare to host Falkirk at Fir Park. The Bairns proved to be an Achilles heel for the Steelmen last season, recording three victories and a draw to remain unbeaten in head-to-head fixtures. “I don’t think anyone cannot be so excited by the opportunity to play them on Saturday. “The staff have a lot of knowledge about them, I know they’re a good team from what I’ve seen already – including from some of the games last year I watched prior to signing the contract here. “They’re a good team with a lot of energy, a lot of stability within the club and the manager’s position. “They’re improving all the time, exceeding expectations and it’s going to be a difficult game but we’re looking forward to it with confidence. “They’ve lost a few players, but we have too so it’s going to be a tight game – that’s what the Premiership is, isn’t it?” However, buoyed by a positive 1-1 draw against Helsinki, Johansson is eager to welcome John McGlynn’s side for their first home Premiership match of the campaign. Motherwell head into the fixture following a demanding seven-day spell that featured successful trips to the Faroe Islands, Finland, and Easter Road. Ahead of Sunday’s match, attacking pair Regan Charles-Cook and Alex Lowry will both face late fitness tests after picking up injuries against HJK Helsinki. Meanwhile, Ibrahim Said is back in contention after resolving the visa issues that kept him out of the European trip. However, Dylan Williams, Apostolos Stamatelopoulos (calf), Jordan McGhee (hamstring), Paul McGinn, Callum Hendry, and Stephen O’Donnell (all knee) remain sidelined.

Determined McGlynn urges Bairns to “grow” from opening day defeat

John McGlynn says he won’t panic about Falkirk’s opening-day defeat to St Mirren, and hopes to strengthen several areas before the end of the transfer window. A Killian Phillips double secured The Buddies’ third straight victory at The Falkirk Stadium, and despite a strong 10 minutes, McGlynn was displeased with the manner of the opening goal. “Certainly not the start that we were looking for. We had high hopes for the game going into it. In the opening 10 minutes or so, we were good, we were in control, we passed the ball really well. “We got wide, we got crosses in. We make an error in defence, playing a ball out, trying to thread the ball through the eye of a needle. “It’s intercepted, they break on us and we’ve got so many bodies in the box against not an awful lot of bodies, yet they manage to get the ball in, get a cross in. The hosts required a second-half spark, and substitute Ben Parkinson delivered in the 70th minute. The former Newcastle boy bundled in Deniss Melniks’ knockdown from close range to the delight of the Falkirk support. Unfortunately, in the build-up, Melniks’ touch had made contact with his elbow, and after a lengthy VAR check, Duncan Nicholson consulted the monitor and ruled out the equaliser. McGlynn was pleased with the second half reaction, but bemoaned a lack of clear-cut chances. “I thought we dominated the second half, we get a goal. It’s denied on a handball which I’ve not seen. We’re huffing and puffing and then from our corner kick, we lose a goal. It’s crazy. We’ve been punished for not doing an awful lot wrong. “Have we done enough to really say that we deserve to win that game? Probably not. We’ve not created enough; we need a little bit more quality. But early days, there’s always going to be a quick turnaround. But we have to pick up points quickly. One of Falkirk’s biggest strengths last season was their squad cohesion, with several starters playing instrumental roles in The Bairns’ League One and Championship-winning campaigns. But with seven new starters, McGlynn admits that combinations will take time to grow as his incomings embed themselves in the Scottish Premiership. “[Goals are] the hardest thing to get. Big Barney [Stewart] was on fire last season, and Calvin Miller was a big player for us with the number of assists that he got. “[Those players] are hard to find. We’ve been trying, and maybe in time it’ll come, but obviously today, we have to concede that we didn’t have that today. “We’re not going to panic. Certainly, we’re disappointed. We’re naive on the pitch. We need to learn and grow up a little bit quicker, but we’re not pressing any panic buttons, but we know we need to do better than that. “I would imagine we’ll get another couple [of players in], I think we’ll get another couple for sure.” Falkirk face Motherwell at Fir Park next Sunday.

Falkirk 0-2 St Mirren: Phillips double send Buddies top against Wasteful Bairns

Falkirk 0-2 St Mirren Phillips (11′ ,87′) The Buddies secured their third straight victory at The Falkirk Stadium after a Killian Phillips double secured a dream start for Craig McLeish in the Scottish Premiership. Falkirk started brightly, keen to build on their top six finish last season. Ethan Laidlaw’s positive play and cross dropped to ex-Exeter City man Jack McMillan. His right-footed shot narrowly snuck wide of Jacob Chapman’s net, encouraging the home support. But the visitors grew into the half, showing good signs under new boss Craig McLeish. Summer signing Samuel Ramos managed three goals in the League Cup group stages; his 40-yard laser pass fell kindly to the onrushing Killian Phillips, who forced a sharp save from Scott Bain. Phillips opened the scoring moments later. The Irishman met Henry Fieldson’s cross, poking home at the near post, and giving the best possible start to The Buddies’ season. Falkirk have lost stalwarts Barney Stewart, Calvin Millar, and Dylan Tait in the transfer market, and were still attempting to blend their new forward combinations. They clicked after 21 minutes. Former St Mirren man Ryan Strain burst forward in the 22nd minute. His cutback gave Finn Yeats freedom in the penalty box, but the midfielder’s strike was tame and didn’t trouble Jacob Chapman. St Mirren’s midfield pivot of Ryan Carr and Paul Nsio was a strong base to launch visiting attacks, and they continued to look dangerous. Nsio caught McMillan napping on the centre circle, allowing Sule to bear down on goal, but his strike lacked conviction and rolled wide of Bain’s goal. Falkirk’s best opportunities continued to come from wide areas; Laidlaw’s inswinging ball narrowly evaded Ross MacIver on 33 minutes. MacIver hit the sidenetting minutes later as the hosts ended strongly. McLeish spoke pre-match about turning St Mirren into an “exciting” side. They looked comfortable in playing out from the back, though goalkeeper Chapman needed maximum concentration on a few occasions to withstand the oncoming Falkirk press St Mirren had a golden chance to double their advantage on the stroke of halftime after breaking from a Falkirk set piece. Carr advanced with Sule and Ramos on either side in a 3 v 2, but after exchanging passes the move fizzled out. A frustrating opening half for John McGlynn’s side, but plenty of encouragement for McLeish to ponder at the break. St Mirren had a chance to double their advantage on the hour mark after a shaky back pass from Deniss Melniks, who had looked uncomfortable in the second half. But after advancing on Bain’s goal, Sule’s powerful effort was blocked by the Scottish internationalist, as another golden opportunity slipped away. The hosts required a spark, and substitute Ben Parkinson provided such in the 70th minute. The former Newcastle boy bundled in Melniks’ knockdown from close range to the delight of the Falkirk support. Unfortunately, in the build-up, Melniks’ touch had made contact with his elbow, and after a lengthy VAR check, Duncan Nicholson consulted the monitor and ruled out the equaliser. Despite encouragement from the home crowd, Falkirk continued to waste possession, and St Mirren would shortly close off the game in the 87th minute Substitute Ronald Idowu broke to the 18-yard box before sliding Phillips into space. His right-footed strike deflected past Bain, sending the away allocation into frenzy. Victory was nothing short of what the visitors deserved, as they moved top of the Scottish Premiership. Falkirk: Bain 7 McMillan 6 Henderson 6 Strain 5 Tanser 4 Gardner 5 Melniks 3 Sibbald 5 Laidlaw 6 Yeats 5 MacIver 5 Substitutes: Doherty 6 Parkinson 6 Ross 6 McCann 4 McGovern 4 St Mirren: Chapman 7 Richardson 7 Fraser 7 Fieldson 8 Gogic 8 Ramos 7 Carr 8 Mochrie 7 Nsio 7 Sule 7 Phillips 9 Substitutes: Young 6 Donnelly 7 Idowu 7 Thomas 7

A “disappointed and frustrated” John McGlynn as Falkirk crash out early doors in the Premier Sports Cup group stage.

The Bairns were surprisingly defeated on penalties to League One opposition Alloa Athletic, ending their chances of progressing to the latter stages of the Premier Sports Cup. With Tuesday’s away trip to Alloa Athletic being the penultimate group stage fixture for the Bairns, nothing less than a victory was vital for John McGlynn’s side. Falkirk took the lead late into the first half with a wonderfully worked goal, Brad Spencer with a perfectly weighted lofted ball into new summer signing Scott Tanser, who guided it past the Alloa Athletic keeper from just inside the box. Midway through the second half of play, hosts Alloa Athletic got their equaliser through Kyle Glasgow, in what was a goal to forget for new Falkirk man, Jack McMillan. A dismal throw from inside the own half was cut out by Alloa Athletic midfielder Grant Marchant, quickly playing the ball to Rangers loanee Kyle Glasgow, whose effort from outside the box found the bottom left-hand side of the net. In the dying stages of the game, Falkirk pushed and pushed for the winner, forcing Ross Stewart to make several good saves. But ultimately, the Bairns failed to find the back of the net. A penalty shootout was in store for the two sides. Brad Spencer and Ben Parkinson were successful from the spot for Falkirk, however, with misses from new man Ryan Strain and Liam Henderson, combined with an excellent showcase of penalties from the Wasps, Falkirk lost 4-2 on penalties to League One Alloa Athletic. Here’s what Falkirk manager John McGlynn had to say post-game: John McGlynn on the game: “It’s a massive disappointment. We’ve qualified previously for three out of the four seasons.” “We are in transition, you know, there’s no magic wand to this its going to take a bit of time, it’s the biggest turnover in players that we’ve had.” “This is going to take a little bit more than any of us would like, so I know were disappointed and frustrated, but we still got to stick together, hang in there. We’ve not even kicked a ball in the league yet, so we have to knuckle down.” “We got one game against Stranraer. It’s now impossible for us to qualify, so we’ve got no pressure on ourselves just to go and produce a performance that’s worthy of putting that jersey on.” It has been a frantic summer window for the Bairns and John McGlynn, with the departure of several key players who all made last season so successful, and an influx of new arrivals. The start of the 2026/27 Scottish Premiership season is fast approaching for John McGlynn, who will know how vital it is to get his new squad ticking in time for the start of the new season. Falkirk kick off their Scottish Premiership 2026/27 campaign in just over a week, hosting Saint Mirren on Saturday, the 1st of August.

A COMPLETE preview of the 2026/27 William Hill Premiership

Millions of eyes from all around the world were fixed on the Scottish Premiership last season as Hearts bid to end the Glasgow-centric dominance that has reigned over Scotland since the 80s. Celtic got the title over the line at the last minute, which many will find disappointing, but the global attention on Scottish football can only be a good thing. Hearts’ weren’t the only underdog story of last season with Motherwell and Falkirk providing excellent stories in their own right. Whilst the 2026/27 season certainly has a hard act to follow in terms of entertainment factor, here’s everything you need to know about the league heading into the next season. Aberdeen: It’s a first full season in charge for Stephen Robinson who replaced Jimmy Thelin in March. It’s always hard to predict how Aberdeen will fair as life post Derrick McInnes can best be described as a rollercoaster. Aberdeen have flirted with relegation the past few years before proving to be too big to go down. But of course, there is the third place season of 2022/23 and the Scottish Cup win in 2025 to counter. It’s been a busy summer in the North East with 10 signings thus far. Stephen Robinson has re-united with Connor Ronan from their time at St. Mirren. They’ll hope the force is with them after signing Obi Wan Kenobi’s great-grandson in Nesta Guinness-Walker, Tony Yogane’s positive loan at Dundee has rewarded him with a move to Aberdeen. They’ve also added household Premiership names in Lewis Mayo and Brad Lyons to name a few. Incomings: Connor Ronan, Alexander Briedl, Lewis Mayo, Brad Lyons, Toyosi Olusanya, Nesta Guinness-Walker, Dan Happe, Ayoub Mouloua, Marius Müller, Tony Yogane. Outgoings: Topi Keskinen, Alexander Jensen, Graeme Shinnie, Ryan Duncan, Marko Lazetic, Tom Mcintrye, Per Kristian Bratviet, Elvis Bwomono, Vicente Besuijen, Alfie Stewart (loan), Alfie Bavidge (loan). What to expect: Mid-table finish. Celtic: Celtic are now five-in-a-row champions, but it somehow feels like a dark cloud is hanging over the club. Despite the drama from the end of last season, it’s fair to say that last season’s Celtic side are probably the worst title winners in recent memory. Although, that speaks to just high the bar is for Celtic. Martin O’Neill will lead Celtic out for another season after signing a further one-year deal, somewhat delaying another managerial appointment. Despite criticisms surrounding their performances or style of play, O’Neill’s Celtic have shown that they can really turn it up when it matters, You can look ash their second half dismantlement of St. Mirren in the Scottish Cup semi-final, or snatching the title from Hearts with just minutes remaining, or their comeback against Rangers in the split and much, much more. Unfortunately for Celtic, the fall-out between the fans and the board continues after a lack of signings, with Celtic fans standing firmly behind the ‘not another penny’ campaign until they see change. Failures to secure new deals for Marcelo Sarrachi and Kelechi Iheanacho only add fuel to the fire too. It truly feels like a lot of discontent hangs over the club at the minute. Incomings: Camilo Duran Outgoings: Luis Palma, Maik Nawrocki, Kelechi Iheanacho, Stephen Welsh, Hayato Inamura, Josh Clarke, Shin Yamada (loan), Kasper Schmeichel (retired) What to expect: Title contenders Dundee: When Stephen Pressely was appointed as Dundee boss last season, many eyebrows were raised from Dundee fans and neutrals alike, many even tipped them to go down, but Pressely kept them up at a canter. They’ll be without last season’s star man in Luke Graham after the defender departed for Stoke in a club record deal. Losses of Trevor Carson and Jon McCracken in the goalkeeping department may force the club to look for a replacement between the posts. Incomings: Idris Odutayo, Zan Besir, Alan Forrest, Ryan Finnigan, Owen Bevan Outgoings: Luke Graham, Jon McCracken, Ethan Ingram, Clark Robertson, Paul Digby, Billy Koumetio, Emile Acquah, Lewis Montsma, Trevor Carson (retired) What to expect: Bottom-half/ relegation candidates Dundee United: Much like his former club Aberdeen, Jim Goodwin’s recent career is another rollercoaster. When he took the Tannadice helm in 2023 the club was as good as relegated. Goodwin led them back to the Premiership at the first time of asking, before securing European football upon their Premiership return, even going toe-to-toe with Rapid Vienna in the conference league. They seemed to revert to the mode with a bottom six finish last year. It’s been a busy window on the other side of Dens Road so far. Jack Walton has returned to the club, there’s also been promising signings from Australia whilst Dylan Tait is an impressive signing from their competitors in Falkirk. Incomings: Jesse Randall, Lachlan Rose, Joshua Rawlins, Dylan Tait, Michael Forbes, Jordan Amissah, Jack Walton, Medhi Merghem, Idjessi Metsoko (loan) Outgoings: Craig Sibbald, Ryan Strain, Ashely Maynard-Brewer, Johnny Russell, Kristijan Trapanovski, Dave Richards, Lewis O’Connell, Owen Stiron (loan), Ruairidh Adams (loan) What to expect: Mid-table finish Falkirk: Falkirk returned to the Premiership after 16 years last season, marking a double-promotion with a top-six finish. A side who built on solid home performances last season and nearly secured European football in the process. Falkirk are on the up at the moment and they can build on this success. Or, whatever goes up can come straight back down. They’ve lost star men from last season in Barney Stewart and Calvin Miller, Filip Lissah hasn’t returned to the club following an impressive loan spell. It could well get worse with John McGlynn being one of the leading contenders to replace Steve Clarke as Scotland boss. Incomings: Lewis Nielson, Jack McMillan, Deniss Melniks, Craig Sibbald, Scott Tanser, Jay Hogarth, Ethan Laidlaw, Paul McGovern Outgoings: Barney Stewart, Calvin Miller, Dylan Tait, Jamie Sneddon, Gary Oliver, Brian Graham, Rhys Walker, Sean Mackie What to expect: Bottom-half finish Heart Of Midlothian: Hearts were mere minutes away from becoming the first non Old-Firm cub to win the league in over 40-years. Derrick McInnes has since departed for Rangers and its a completely new look Hearts side for the Wouter Vrancken era. Numerous new signings

McGlynn Breaks Silence on Scotland Job after Five Star Falkirk THRASH City

John McGlynn’s only focus remains on Falkirk amidst links to the Scotland National Team job, after his side put five past Edinburgh City to open their Premier Sports Cup campaign. Scotland have been without a manager since Steve Clarke called time on his 7-year stint 3 weeks ago, and was touted for the job by former colleague Craig Levein. But speaking after a five-star victory at Meadowbank, McGlynn’s only concern remains with Falkirk. “He has a great standing in the game. I’ve worked with Craig, and he’s been an influence on my career as well, without a doubt. “I’ve got to concentrate on the job here, and I’m just delighted that we’ve got three points on the board.” McGlynn’s side impressed on their return to domestic action, following their top six finish last season. Doubles by Ross MacIver and Ben Parkinson, as well as a curling strike from Connor Allan, moved The Bairns to top spot in Group G of the Premier Sports Cup. They return to the Falkirk Stadium on Tuesday evening to face former Championship rivals Ayr United. Edinburgh City 0-5 Falkirk R. MacIver (5′, 88′) B. Parkinson (20′, 26′) C. Allan (35′)

John McGlynn faces a new challenge heading into the 2026/27 Scottish Premiership as key players depart Falkirk

A summer of change is underway at Falkirk, as the Bairns look to replace key figures who made last season so successful. Falkirk returned to the top flight of Scottish football for the 2025/26 campaign after a fifteen-year hiatus; not many people expected the Bairns to be successful as they were. John McGlynn guided his side to a top-six finish, and they were in contention for a European spot before dropping off right at the end of the season. The Bairns also made it to the Scottish Cup semi-final, where they were disappointingly beaten by championship side Dunfermline Athletic. A hugely impressive campaign for a newly promoted side, however, that success has now come at a cost, with several important players departing the club so far this summer window. Star players departing A trio of Barney Stewart, Calvin Miller and Dylan Tait are the most notable names to be leaving Falkirk, all of whom impressed throughout last season. 22-year-old striker Barney Stewart has joined English Championship side West Brom for a rumoured seven-figure fee, whereas Calvin Miller, who had a standout season for the Bairns, has joined runners-up Hearts, and lastly Dylan Tait, who featured in all 38 league matches last season for Falkirk, has joined league opponents Dundee United on a free. The Bairns were back in action last night as they defeated Airdrieonians 2-1 in their opening pre-season match. Manager John McGlynn had this to say post-match regarding incomings. “We know that we’ve got a lot of work to do, we know that, and we have been working very hard, and we thought we had one or two over the line and then there’s been just something that’s delayed it, and it’s left us a little bit of not having as many as we would have liked to have had in by now.” “We continuously work on it, honestly, we are working all the time, so yeah, we understand that it’s a little bit frustrating. It’s frustrating for everyone. We would have anticipated having more players in by now.” “Like last season, it took towards the end of the window before we managed to get some of them in, and I would like to think we can do it quicker than that.” As of now, six new players have put pen to paper for the Bairns: midfielders Jack McMillan from Exeter City, Scott Tanser from Saint Mirren, and Craig Sibbald from Dundee United. Three new additions to bolster the backline, starting with Latvian international Deniss Melniks, Lewis Neilson, formerly of Hearts, both signing permanently and last but hopefully not least for John McGlynn is Ethan Laidlaw, who arrives on loan from Premier League outfit Brentford. With the start of the 2026/27 Scottish Premiership fast approaching, John McGlynn knows his side needs more reinforcements across the park and will be eager to get several over the line before their opening game against Saint Mirren on the 1st of August.

From Heriot Watt University, to Falkirk to the English Championship

Falkirk have this afternoon confirmed Barney Stewart has departed for West Brom leaving for a club-record-fee. The new West Brom man has signed a 4-year-deal in the Midlands in a fee which is believed to be around the £1.3million mark as the Scotland U21 International departs Scotland following a highly impressive time in Scotland. Barney has had some journey throughout his career so far where he started off with his University side, Hariot Watt University where the striker performed brilliantly which earned himself a massive move to Falkirk. The 22-year-old re-joined his Uni side on loan in 2024 before returning to the Falkirk Stadium where he went on loan to Scottish Championship outfit, Dunfermline where he went on to net 8 goals in 12 appearances at East End Park before returning to John McGlynn’s side after being recalled following an impressive spell. During last season, Barney was the top goal scorer for the Bairns since joining back up in January, scoring 10 times which included a hat-trick against Hibs as well as very crucial goals in their sensational Scottish Cup run against Aberdeen, Motherwell and Dundee United which saw the Pars lose out to Celtic in the final. It’s been a very impressive career for the man who was playing University football just two years ago, to now playing in the English Championship for West Brom after signing for a club-record-fee.

EFL duo keeping tabs on Falkirk defender Liam Henderson

Both Plymouth and Oxford United are keen on bringing Liam Henderson down south after impressing in the Premiership. After an impressive end to the Scottish Premiership, scouts from both sides upped their interest in the 29-year-old. Henderson has had a successful season with Falkirk with in terms of the stats, the defender won 73.4% of his arial duels, 319 defensive contributions as well as 8 clean sheets for the Bairns this campaign. Henderson re-joined Falkirk in League One of Scottish Football joining from Arbroath in which the Scottish defender helped Falkirk return to the Scottish Championship. After yet another successful season, he helped the Bairns reach the top-flight on the first time of asking to return to the Premiership for the first time in 15 years. This season has been a standout season for Henderson, helping Falkirk reach the top six on the first time of asking, competing closely for a European spot. Oxford who have recently been relegated from the Championship are showing some strong interest. Oxford have been leaking goals left, right and centre with 59 goals conceded in the Championship with a few of their current defenders eyeing up a return to the Championship with Michal Helik wanting to return up a league with Henderson coming in as the replacement. Plymouth conceded 63 goals in League One after a horrid start to the campaign, they started to find form and narrowly missed out in promotion to the Championship. Plymouth are in dire need of some big men in order to defend set-pieces as that’s been an area of concern – conceding 13 throughout the season. Henderson would join fellow Scot, Jack McKenzie if he was to join Argyle but a move to Oxford would be beneficial due to the low numbers in that area for The Yellows.

Falkirk 2 v 5 Rangers – Chermiti’s hat-trick earns Rangers first win of split fixtures

Rangers secured their first win of the post-split fixtures, with Youssef Chermiti scoring a hat-trick. Rangers started rapidly and opened the scoring in the opening two minutes. Mikey Moore picked out Youssef Chermiti, whose low driven effort snuck under Nicky Hogarth’s arm. However, there was little to none celebration from the Portuguese international. It wasn’t long after until Rangers doubled the scoring. A tremendous volley from Chermiti flew into the top-corner of the net, giving Hogarth no chance. It was three goals in seven minutes and a bizarre start to the match. A moment of madness between Tuur Rommens and Jack Butland saw the Rangers goalkeeper make a mess of the pass-back and put the ball into his own net. An entertaining opening to the match. Rangers made it three 27 minutes in. A neat passage of play saw Chermiti release the ball to Djeidi Gassama. His half-turn gave him room to open his body and finish the ball into the bottom left corner. It was all Rangers after the third. And Thelo Aasgaard must have thought he made it four, thirty minutes in. A looped cross from Rommens saw Aasgaard make clean connection with the ball, but Hogarth made a tremendous save to keep his side in the game. It was throwback to the last time-out here at The Falkirk Stadium between these two sides, goals galore. A Mohamed Diomande handball inside his own penalty area saw Duncan Nicolson go to the monitor. The penalty was awarded and Calvin Miller slotted calmly from the penalty spot, giving his side a massive boost going into the interval. Ben Parkinson almost equalized for the hosts just before half-time. His drilled effort saw Butland push the ball away for a corner. Minutes after the interval, Chermiti earned his hat-trick. A dangerous cross from Rommens saw Chermiti unmarked at the back-post. His header bounced off the deck, before going into the back of the Falkirk net. Shortly after, Butland made up for his error in the first-half. Calvin Miller was found one on one with the Rangers stopper. But Butland made himself big and denied Miller from making it a double for himself. On the 68th minute, a well worked corner from Falkirk fell to Dylan Tait outside the Rangers 18-yard-box. He drilled one from distance, but his effort landed just shy of Butland’s goal. Falkirk were upping the pressure. However, in the 78th minute, Gassama burst forward and beat Miller for pace before finding Chermiti in the box. The Portuguese international used his body to shield the ball and earn a penalty, which Aasgaard stepped up and stuck away into the roof of the net. Following that, Mikey Moore was replaced for one final time. The Gers fans were singing his name, as well as “one more year, one more year Mikey Moore”. The Spurs loanee was getting a good send off. Rangers ended the season off with a win. However, its has been a poor end to the campaign with just one win out of five post-split fixtures. It wasn’t to be for Falkirk during the split fixtures, with just one win in five. But throughout the course of the season, they can hold their heads high, with a successful first attempt back in the top-flight. Falkirk: Hogarth (2), Henderson (3), Spencer (4), Broggio (4), Yeats (5), Neilson (3), Cartwright (4), Ross (4), Parkinson (4), Miller (6), Hart (3) Subs: MacIver (2), Allan (3), Tait (3), Oliver (3), Wilson (3) Rangers: Butland (3), Souttar (5), Barrron (6), Chermiti (9), Diomande (6), Aasgaard (7), Gassama (7), Djiga (3), Rommens (8), Fernandez (6), Moore (7) Subs: Aarons (5), Chukwuani (5), Lawson (4), McCallion (4), Scally (4)
