Friday night football

There is Friday night football at the Falkirk Stadium as Peter Houston's side take on Rangers, live on BT Sport with a 7.45pm kick-off.

Rangers have already won twice away to the Bairns this season - 2-0 in the Championship in August and 3-1 in a League Cup tie the following month. The most recent encounter saw the Light Blues win 4-0 at Ibrox in November.

Falkirk are just outside the play-off places and have generally been strong at home in the league, with five wins, five draws and just three defeats.

They are unbeaten in 2015 and have lost only once since mid-November, a 1-0 defeat to Raith Rovers at the end of December.

Rangers are currently third in the table - two points behind Hibernian but with three games in hand and Kenny McDowall's men won 2-1 away to Raith Rovers last Friday.

Falkirk Technical Director Alex Smith said: "Peter has put together a good side and I have enjoyed seeing them grow throughout the season. He came in at the start of the season and there has been steady progress every month and that has been reflected in him winning the last two Manager of the Month awards.

“On the pitch, we are a team that is now playing with more and more confidence and I am sure that you will see that against Rangers. At this stage of the season there is everything to play for and we are in a good position to push on for promotion.

“We have had a few more draws than we would have liked but there is still a lot of points to be won between now and the end of the season. Hopefully, we can get the three points and move up the table before Queen of the South play on Saturday.”
