Falkirk "looked Premiership level" as they marked their return to Scotland's top flight with an entertaining 2-2 draw against Dundee United.
John McGlynn's side ended their 15-year absence from the top tier by winning the Scottish Championship last season and started brightly in front of their own fans, enjoying the bulk of possession.
However, it was the visitors who hit the front just before half-time as Max Watters capitalised on Liam Henderson's scuffed clearance to volley in his first United goal.
Falkirk continued to push forward though and equalised with a lovely team effort.
Captain Brad Spencer drifted into space in the United box and teed up midfield partner Dylan Tait, who swept a first-time finish into the roof of the net.
Ivan Dolcek put United back in front after breezing past several half-hearted Falkirk challenges and beating goalkeeper Scott Bain, before Ethan Ross levelled again for the Premiership newcomers via a deflection off Vicko Sevelj.
"I'm very proud of the players for being able to compete and go toe-to-toe with a team that finished fourth last season," McGlynn said.
"We had a lot of players that looked Premiership level."
