The match followed the midweek game against Hamilton and once again allowed Bairns boss Ray McKinnon to give all his squad some game time and look at some potential new recruits.

The match ended 2-2 with Aidan Connolly and a trialist netting for Falkirk and Stuart Bannigan, from the penalty spot, and Lewis Mansell on target for Gary Caldwell’s Thistle.

Falkirk play their final warm-up match against Brechin City at Glebe Park, kick-off 7.45pm and open to the public on Tuesday, before the competitive stuff begins with Saturday’s Betfred Cup opener at home to Livingston.
