CEL 3, FALK 1Watch all the goals from MD33, including all NINE from Rangers' win at Falkirk!
Rangers came out on top of a nine-goal thriller at the Falkirk Stadium. The Bairns raced into a 2-0 lead but four goals in 16 minutes put Danny Röhl's side in the drivers seat. Calvin Miller's penalty seeded some doubt before Youssef Chermiti and Bojan Miovski sealed all three points and Rangers remain just a point off league leaders' Hearts heading into the split.
FALK 3, RAN 6John McGlynn’s side secured a fully deserved three points to confirm a top-six finish in their return season to the top flight. The visitors made a fast start, taking the lead after just three minutes when Barney Stewart headed in Calvin Miller’s free-kick. Motherwell responded through Elliot Watt, whose excellent strike snuck through the gloves of Scott Bain. Ben Broggio restored the visitors’ advantage just before the break following a defensive error, and Miller later added a penalty to extend the lead. Tawanda Maswanhise grabbed a late consolation for Motherwell, who have now lost three of their last four matches.
MOT 2, FALK 3Managerless St Mirren stunned top-six chasing Falkirk to boost their William Hill Premiership survival hopes, ending a six-game winless run and securing only their second away win of the season. Barney Stewart gave Falkirk the lead, punishing hesitation in the St Mirren defence to slot home. But the visitors responded almost immediately, with Miguel Freckleton heading in unmarked from close range just three minutes later. Falkirk will feel they should have led at the break, with Ben Broggio creating chances and Stewart hitting the post with a header. They were made to pay in the second half as St Mirren struck from a set piece, Mark O’Hara’s delivery met by Liam Donnelly, who headed in the winner.
FALK 1, MIR 2Barney Stewart spoiled the Stephen Robinson party as his first game as Dons boss ended in a draw at Pittodrie. Kevin Nisbet took advantage of a Scott Bain error to put the hosts in front but it was the Bairns who had the last laugh as they look to secure their top six spot.
ABE 1, FALK 1The midfielder ran the show and scored a double in Falkirk's 5-1 over Kilmarnock.
Falkirk put on a five-star display against Kilmarnock to take another step towards securing a top six place. The Bairns went ahead in the first minute through an Ethan Brown own goal and they refused to let up with Dylan Tait and Barney Stewart both grabbing braces. Greg Kitlie scored Killie’s goal on a dismal day for the visitors.
FALK 5, KIL 1The forward scored the winner in Heart of Midlothian's 1-0 win over Falkirk.
Heart of Midlothian responded to last week's defeat by defeating Falkirk 1-0 at Tynecastle. January signing Islam Chesnokov scored his first goal for the club to give Derek McInnes' men all three points, becoming the first Kazakh scorer in Scotland's top flight.
At the Falkirk Stadium, Dundee United came from behind twice to secure a fantastic win over ten man Falkirk. 19 year old Ben Broggio opened the scoring for the hosts, before United captain Ross Graham brought the visitors level. Filip Lissah's strike restored the Bairns' lead, but Craig Sibbald equalised again for United. Falkirk's Liam Henderson was sent off after a VAR intervention upgraded his original caution. Julius Eskesen got the winner for Dundee United.
FALK 2, DUNU 3A tight match at the Falkirk Stadium ended in victory for high-flying Falkirk. 19 year old Ben Broggio's first Falkirk goal was enough to get John McGlynn's side over the line. Dundee's Yan Dhanda missed a late penalty to claim a share of the spoils.
