McKinnon: I’ll chuck flops out in window
Ray McKinnon vowed some of his basement Bairns have played their last game for the club after being humiliated by bitter rivals Dunfermline.
The Falkirk boss is desperate for the January transfer window to open so he can dump his flops.
Joe McKee gave them a second-minute lead but they froze instead of building on it. Ex-Falkirk favourite Myles Hippolyte equalised

in the 13th minute then Tom Beadling gave the Fifers the lead four minutes later.
Beadling netted his second after the interval then James Vincent added a fourth for Pars before Zak Rudden got a late winning goal.

“Thank God it’s January soon. I’ve tried to protect that squad all the way but a lot of them won’t play for Falkirk again.”
But the home side couldn’t have had a better start when Rudden’s flick found McKee and he slotted past Lee Robinson. It didn’t last though and Hippolyte made space to fire the leveller then Beadling bundled in his first.
Next Kallum Higginbotham picked out Beadling who steered home a low shot and Vincent’s drilled effort made the points safe before Rudden’s goal.
Pars boss Allan Johnston beamed: “Losing an early goal could have affected the players but they showed character.”
