The match, played behind closed doors at Stirling University, ended in a 2-0 win for the Premiership side.

Both both sides changed virtually their entire line-ups at half-time and there were also a few faces familiar to Falkirk fans among the Accies squad, including Blair Alston and Ciaran McKenna, who have signed, and Kevin O’Hara, who is on trial.
