The SPFL have confirmed that the rearranged tie will take place on Saturday, 22 January at 3pm after both clubs provisionally agreed the date shorty after the call-off.

East Fife and the Bairns both have the weekend free due to both club's exiting the Scottish Cup in the early rounds.

Falkirk were 1-0 up through Aidan Keena's superb solo effort before the match was cut short.
