Falkirk’s final Scottish Premiership pre-split fixture against Rangers at home moved to Sunday for TV coverage.

Falkirk will host Rangers in the final Scottish Premiership fixture before the split after the clash was selected by Sky Sports for television coverage, the SPFL has confirmed.

The Bairns, who sit 12 points clear in sixth spot after Saturday’s 5-1 win over Kilmarnock, will now play Danny Rohl’s side on Sunday, April 12 with kick-off at noon. Originally, the match was set to be played the day before at 3pm.

Falkirk’s clash with Rangers to close pre-split card

John McGlynn’s team all-but guaranteed a spot in the top half after last weekend’s win, and they are now only four points behind Hibs in fifth spot with four games remaining before the split. Five matches then follow that with Falkirk hoping to be kingmakers in the title race with the opportunity to push for European football via the league or the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup.

Falkirk and Rangers have played out two draws so far this campaign, with the Bairns earning a point at Ibrox back in November. That 0-0 draw was the second meeting between the sides with Henry Cartwright’s cracking goal securing a 1-1 draw in Falkirk back in October.

The Bairns are also on television this Friday night, with Jim Goodwin’s Dundee United visiting Falkirk for the Scottish Cup quarter-finals. That match is being shown live on BBC Scotland with kick-off at 7.45pm.
