The winger scored Falkirk’s second and laid on the third for Lee Miller is an excellent display.

Houston said: “ Myles Hippolyte needs to be more consistent. He has all the attributes – he is strong and can take people on.

“I told him that when he chapped my door about not being in the team.

Tom Taiwo was tenacious, he was fantastic. I know what I get from him. I need to know what I am going to get from Myles.

“But he has taken that on board, he is a great kid, I thought he was outstanding I’m delighted for him.”

Hippolyte agreed with his manager.

“I think consistency has always been something I’ve had to work on from a young age.

“I didn’t have the best game last week against Raith but I’m thankful to the gaffer for giving me another chance.”
