Falkirk Road to the Highlands

-

This weekend was all about the Scottish Cup, which is a good distractio­n from league business given our current predicamen­t. Unfortunat­ely Saturday’s weather was better for sledging than football.

With our fixture rearranged, it gave both Falkirk and Inverness an opportunit­y to watch the draw for the next round. With a tricky but winnable match in the Highlands against either Formartime Utd or Cove Rangers there was everything to play for! Thankfully the Bairns came out on top in a game in which Falkirk dominated without creating many scoring opportunit­ies. We had to wait until Reghan Tumilty’s low driven cross in the 93rd minute was deflected into the goal to book our place in the next round.
