The central defender moved north from Hartlepool in the summer, and says he is thoroughly enjoying the physical battles the Scottish Championship has to offer.

"It's a rough and tough league but that's what I like. It gives you a sense of aggression.

"When you are coming off with knocks and you are getting smashed about - I enjoy it. I don't know what this sounds like, but when you get big cuts - it feels good."

Scott admits he is different to centre-back partner Tom Dallison, joking that his team mate is worried about his appearance.

"I think it's a good balance. I'm not the best of looking so I'm not bothered about getting smashed round the face.

"I think Tom is a good looking lad and doesn't want to ruin his looks."

Harrison bagged his first goal in a Falkirk shirt as the Bairns defeated Rangers Colts at Forthbank on Tuesday night, although the defender could have had a couple more - having had one ruled out against Inverness and hitting the bar against Partick Thistle.

He was happy to have led at half-time against the Rangers youngsters, and was glad to win after two losses on the bounce.

"It's a relief. It was nice to go in at half-time and not have to come out and chase the game, but we have to see the second half out a lot better."
