The club's 50-50 draw ticket seller Jean Sneddon was included in the pre-match procession as a mascot to mark her birthday.

She turned 84 on Monday - and proved a lucky charm for the team with a successful victory over Jim McInally's side.

Amy Russell (6) and Caitlin Ross (9) were also mascots on the day.

Louis Longridge, who accompanied the Bairns stalwart onto the pitch - and was named as the veteran's favourite player in the matchday programme - later tweeted "It was a pleasure to walk out with a club icon".
