Falkirk moved to the summit of the Scottish Championship despite being held to a goalless draw by Livingston in front of nearly 6,000 fans at the Falkirk Stadium.
John McGlynn's in-form side had the better of the chances, with Dylan Tait's effort blocked before Calvin Miller pushed his shot wide when presented with a clear sight of goal.
The home side thought they had broken the deadlock in the second half when Ethan Ross fired home a cross by the impressive Keelan Adams, but the linesman called the ball out before it was played into the box.
However, the draw was enough to take Falkirk one point clear of Ayr United at the top of the table with a game in hand, while Livingston stay third, three points off the pace.
