Livingston are now getting a hold of the ball in midfield for the first time in the match.

Mahamadou Susoho and Mo Sylla are starting to exert some influence.

The good news for the home side is they're very much still in the game, with Hibs unable to take greater advantage of their early superiority.

Never mind, Graham is indeed now on for MacIver, who can't play on despite his best effort.

Scorer of the second goal, Ross MacIver, worryingly sits down after an awkward landing.

Brian Graham is ready to come on in his place, but MacIver is soldiering on for now.

For all Hearts' possession, it is Dundee who go closest to the opener.

Cameron Congreve weaves inside from the wing and the on-loan Swansea City winger's shot takes a deflection before striking the junction of bar and post from 18 yards.

Falkirk boss John McGlynn said his side came into this with confidence after binning the Celtic defeat. They had won their previous two and, my goodness, they're not half showing that belief.

It's a fully deserved lead at this stage in front of a fairly raucous home crowd. The Bairns seemingly continue their incredible rise under their manager.

Alexandros Kyziridis goes on a mazy run, beating three players on his way before being brought down.

However, the Hearts winger was deep in his own half.

The leaders need him doing that at the other end.

A very tidy volley from central defender Rocky Bushiri is ruled out for offside.

Hibs could be out of sight soon if Livingston don't get their act together.

Who would have thought that, after nearly 25 minutes, the Premiership leaders at home to second-bottom Dundee would be the only game to remain goalless?

Stevie May is annoyed that what he signals as a normal shoulder charge on Hibernian's Miguel Chaiwa is called as a foul.

Chaiwa ended up hitting the advertising hoarding along the side of the pitch.

May would have been away down the wing had play been allowed to continue.

Harry Milne is in behind the Dundee defence, but the full-back's low drive is cut out in the six-yard box by centre-half Billy Koumetio and Hearts are unable to make anything of the corner.

Killie's David Watson has a crack on the volley from the corner of the box that sails wide of the far post.

Falkirk have contained the visitors well, holding them to solely speculative attempts.

Livingston have been much better in the past five minutes or so. Arguably, they should be on level terms but referee Calum Scott ruled out Scott Pittman's strike.

Don’t think the referee will be receiving a Christmas Card from David Martindale!

Scott Pittman thinks he's pulled Livingston back level with a tidy finish.

The 'goal' is ruled out though, seemingly for a foul by Jeremy Bokila on Grant Hanley that allowed Pittman the freedom to shoot.

Much better from Livi in the past few minutes after an absolute shocker of a start.

A soft shout for a Falkirk penalty as Kyrell Wilson darts into the area and bursts past Rory McKenzie.

The Falkirk winger goes down rather easily, to be generous to him.

"It's a dive" is the concise summation on Sportsound.

That was a brilliant goal from Falkirk and mainly down to Calvin MIller's ingenuity to find the space in behind and anticipate that Ethan Williams would be on the same page and get there. He did well to stay onside.

It's a fantastic atmosphere in here and a massive boost for Falkirk.
