Here is the low-down on the two teams both of whom are managed by former Bairns’ bosses.
13. Key player - Partick
Centre back Tam O'Ware spent seven season with Morton and made over 170 appearances before moving to Partick in 2018. Now captain at Thistle, he has been regarded as one of the best centre halfs in Scotland outside of the Premiership. Photo: Michael Gillen
14. Key player - Cove
Former Aberdeen and Raith Rovers striker Mitch Megginson joined Cove in 2016 and terrorised Highland League defences before brining the form back to the SPFL and netting a stunning 24 times in League 2 last season. Photo: Dave Cowe
15. Familiar face - Partick
Zak Rudden was a stand out during a disappointing season for the Bairns in 2018-19. The Rangers loanee moved to Plymouth again on loan before making the switch full-time to Partick in January. Photo: Michael Gillen
16. Familiar face - Cove
The name Rory McAllister has struck fear in to the hearts of lower league defenders for over a decade and when his Peterhead side went to the Falkirk stadium for a Challenge Cup tie in 2015 he netted five times in a 5-3 defeat for the Bairns. Photo: Duncan Brown
