Team News

  • Falkirk manager John McGlynn made one change to the Bairns team that lost 2-1 at home to Dundee upon their return to Scottish Premiership action, before defeating Hibernian at Easter Road last Saturday with the same scoreline.

  • Scott Bain was positioned in goal. Scott Tanser took Leon McCann's place at left-back in their only change, as Liam Henderson was joined by Lewis Neilson in the heart of the Bairns defence, and Ryan Strain stayed at right-back.

  • Brad Spencer was positioned in the midfield alongside Ben Krauhaus and Finley Barbrook once again. Ethan Ross and Owen Eames provided support to Jacob Murrell - who netted twice - in attack at Easter Road.

  • Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann made one change to the Killie team that lost 3-1 to Rangers at Ibrox upon their return to Scottish Premiership action, before securing a 3-2 victory over Motherwell at Rugby Park last Saturday afternoon.

  • Calum Ferrie was stationed in goal. Michael Schjønning-Larsen continued at left-back, as George Stanger partnered Cathal McCarthy in the heart of the unchanged Killie defence, and MJ Kamson-Kamara remained at right-back.

  • Bailey Rice was ineligible to play against his parent club, so he couldn't face Rangers. He replaced Aaron Tshibola to join Tom Lowery in midfield. Erik Ring, Tyreece John-Jules and Greg Kiltie provided support to Joe Hugill in the Killie attack.
