Their 2-1 loss to manager Stevie Farrell’s side in September was the first time the Sons had beaten them since a 2-1 defeat in the Championship back in December 2016.

Since then, the two sides have met 14 times, with Falkirk winning seven of those games and six being draws.

Here’s a look back at their last nine league games – a 3-0 away win in November and 2-1 home loss two months previously, both in League 1; a 1-1 home draw last March and 3-0 away win in November 2020, both in League 1, accompanied by a 4-0 away League Cup win also in November 2020; 3-0 and 6-0 home victories in January 2020 and August 2019 respectively and a 1-1 away draw in November 2019, all in League 1; and a 5-2 away win in the Championship in April 2018 preceded by a 0-0 draw in February of that year.
