    Former Scotland international on BBC Scotland

    The manner in which Falkirk have won back-to-back promotions has been phenomenal.

    It's been a long wait, they're a big, well-supported club.

    Wonderful stuff.

    FT: Falkirk 3-1 Hamilton Accies

    Players are being held aloft by fans, there are thousands of fans on the pitch.

    The cameras are trying to pick out John McGlynn and his players but frankly it's impossible.

    There's flags, there's scarves, there's more Falkirk caps than in John McGlynn's cupboard.

    FT: Falkirk 3-1 Hamilton Accies

    Falkirk win the league! They will play Premiership football next season for the first time in 15 years!

    There is euphoria in Falkirk, the fans are strewn all over the pitch!

    Livingston will have to wait and try their luck in the play-offs.

    Tonight, it is all about John McGlynn and his Falkirk team.

    Falkirk 3-1 Hamilton Accies

    Barney Stewart comes away down the pitch, but a bad touch takes him wide. Connor Smith slides in to clear for a corner.

    I've no idea how they're going to take it. The Falkirk fans are stood on the byeline, some on the pitch.

    They're itching, raring to go come the full-time whistle.

    How was that not in?!

    Alfie Agyeman stabs the ball across goal and Aiden Nesbitt redirects the ball towards goal, but Dean Lyness somehow claws it away. Did that cross the line? Apparently not.

    Livingston 0-1 Partick Thistle

    It's all very flat now in West Lothian. The title dream is all but over.

    They're still going for it, but it all seems a bit futile now.

    Thistle, contrastingly, will be delighted to see this out and seal a playoff spot.

    Nicky Hogarth's pass is cut out and Kevin O'Hara tries from 40 yards - but it slices just wide.

    The keeper can laugh about it now but that could have put a cat among the pigeons.

    That's a brilliant finish from Calvin Miller and Falkirk are absolutely flying now.

    It is party-time inside this stadium and the Championship trophy must surely be heading this way.

    That is a real moment of quality - he knows exactly what he's looking to do.

    The goalkeeper has absolutely no chance.

    A lovely strike into the bottom corner. What a way to wrap it up, a lovely goal from Calvin Miller.

    GOAL FALKIRK 3-1 Hamilton Acciespublished at 70 mins

    Calvin Miller

    That could be it! That could end their 15-year top-flight absence.

    Miller gets the ball in the box. He takes it to his left, his right, his left again and then drills it into the bottom corner.

    It's a fine goal from one of the league's best players.

    A quick look around the grounds...

    Ayr United still leading Airdrieonians 1-0 thanks to Ben Dempsey's strike.

    Morton remain 2-0 leaders over Dunfermline at Cappielow.

    Finally, Raith Rovers are now 3-1 up over Queen's Park. Seb Drozd got one back for the hosts but Lewis Vaughan has got his second of the night to restore Rovers' lead.

    Livingston 0-1 Partick Thistle

    Livi look desperate to get back into this in case Hamilton still do them a favour.

    A bit of a mix-up in the six-yard box allows Robbie Muirhead to swivel and shoot but it's cleared a yard from the line.

    The tempo's going up now.

    The news that Falkirk now lead has dented the Livingston fans hopes of a title party tonight.

    But they still feel there is a chance to at least win this game!

    Oh my word!

    Kyle MacDonald almost just scored the goal of his life. A little roulette to get away from two defenders and he blasted at goal... but it drifted just wide of the top corner.

    Kevin O'Hara is now on as Accies' try and claw back an equaliser.

    Tete Yengi is on for Livingston as David Martindale looks to get back in the game. They've been lacklustre in the second half.

    It may all be too little, too late now, though.
