The Bairns traveled through to Edinburgh this afternoon to face Heart of Midlothian in round 28 of the Scottish Premiership.

Falkirk got off to a quick start a left footed shot from Brad Spencer after 3 minutes was just wide of the post. Kyrell Wilson was next to test the Jambos with a shot outside of the box but it was comfortably saved by Schwolow

Hearts had a chance with Alexandros Kyziridis as he cuts inside but the shot is deflected and then saved by Scott Bain. Blair Spittal had an opportunity from a free kick however it was blocked.

The scoring was opened in the 45th minute a good ball through from Kyziridis finds Islam Chesnokov and a left footed shot finds the back of the net to make it 1-0 for the Jambos.

Into the second half Hearts had a good opportunity through Claudio Braga and the shot just trickled wide of the right post.

Falkirk were not giving up their fight either, a cross into the box from the left is sent out by Craig Halkett at full stretch. A moment of concern for the Jambos as he looks to be injured but after some minor treatment he was back up and going again.

The corner was taken and a very close range shot for John McGlynn’s side a bit of a scuffle in the box and Schwolow has to tip the ball over the bar.

The final opportunity of the afternoon came from the home side a free kick outside the box and Kyziridis steps up a strong shot and Scott Bain makes another important save.

Another 3 point for the Jam Tarts and they are now 5 point clear at the top of the league. Celtic and Rangers play tomorrow and have an opportunity to hunt them down .
