BBC Sport Scotland at the Falkirk Stadium"That superb Blair Alston goal has certainly changed the dynamic of this match.
"Falkirk look energised as they look to extend an 11-game unbeaten run. Hibs' response will be intriguing."
CLOSE!published at 16:14
John Baird's glancing header from Blair Alston's cross flashes across the face of goal.
This is a good spell for Falkirk.

How will Hibs respond? They trailed to Falkirk a few weeks ago at Easter Road and fought back to claim a point.

BBC Sport Scotland at the Falkirk Stadium"A very cagey first half. We didn't get a shot on target until the final minute of the half and though there has been some neat football from either side, both have lacked the craft to engineer any genuine goalscoring opportunities."
HALF-TIME Falkirk 0-0 Hibernianpublished at 15:47
Not much to report from that first half. A couple of long-range efforts and one or two other half-chances but it's a stalemate at the break.
