The Bairns clash with the Championship leaders will now take place on Friday, November 17 with a kick-off time of 7.40pm at the Falkirk Stadium as both sides look to set up a home semi-final against The New Saints or Arbroath.

Due to this fixture, Falkirk’s League 1 trip to Montrose, which was due to take place that weekend on the Saturday, is set to be rearranged in the near future.

John McGlynn’s men have already met the Terrors this campaign – losing out 1-0 in Falkirk during the Viaplay Cup group stages, with that match also televised.

Ticket pricing for the match has been set at £15 for adults with under-18 briefs costing just £6 while under-12s go free with an accompanied adult.

Meanwhile, the Friday night slot has also forced the Bairns to rearrange their Fortress Brockville night, which was due to take place on the same evening.

A club spokesperson confirmed: “The rescheduling of this fixture means our Fortress Brockville night has been postponed to the following Friday, the 24th of November. Further details for supporters attending this evening will be released in the coming days.”
