Match Report

TTA report

A keenly fought, tight match and the biggest influence was McKennan making a rare appearance this season. He made the 1st goal for Mclean (5) then scored himself (a powerful free-kick, 66) after Falkirk had equalised on the hour. Shankly was the brains of the midfield and Husband had a fine game as well.
