43mins: Header wide by Morrison

It says a lot that this is the closest Falkirk have come and it barely musters a reaction in the stands.

Kelly curls a cross in from the left and Morrison finds space and rises with a free header downwards but it’s narrowly wide of the back post

44mins: Mutch saves from Penrice

The Jags right back cuts in and gets a shot away from the edge of the box which Mutch gets down low to block and the defence clear

The referee brings to an end what was a dismal first half for the Bairns

Normally we’d go in to a bit of detail here but there’s not much to say.

Three good goals but all avoidable as far as Falkirk are concerned.

Attacking wise the plan has been to give it to Morrison at the earliest opportunity, it’s not working...

The hosts are 45 minutes away from the League 1 title and promotion to the Championship.

The teams are out as we get ready for the second half to kick off

Second half is underway

Falkirk double sub at the break

Mark Durnan and Anton Dowds are on for Scott Mercer and Robbie Leitch

47mins: Waster opportunity for Morrison

Callumn Morrison did well to hold on the ball and make a good run through the middle but with Sammon and Dowds making runs ahead of him he has a go himself and fires well over the bar.

49mins: Graham fires wide

A deep cross from Ross Docherty finds Graham in space at the back post who side foots it across the face of goal and wide.

51mins: Sneddon tips over Fotheringham’s header

Morrison crosses from the right and Fotheringham gets a head on it, it looks to be going over but Sneddon takes no chances and tips it over for a corner which comes to nothing.
