Allan Preston on Radio Scotland: "Should Kilmarnock celebrate if they win? Why would you celebrate finishing 11th and hanging on to your survival in the Premiership by the skin of your teeth?"

Falkirk start the second half and have 45 minutes to breath new life into their promotion bid.

BBC Radio Scotland reporter Chick Young has been revealing that a motivational video was shown to the Kilmarnock team just before kick-off and the music coming from the dressing-room as desks and walls were thumped was not to our man's tastes.

Chris McLaughlin, external: "#Falkirk, external outmuscled and outplayed by #Kilmarnock, external for key parts of that first half. Pitch looks sticky too. #playoffs, external."

Eilidh Barbour, external: "A lightning start from #Killie, external and it's their advantage, but don't count out #Falkirk, external, they love a late show."

Having watched replays of Miles Addison's goal, it was Falkirk defender Aaron Muirhead who knocked the ball back across goal for the second Kilmarnock goal rather than Kris Boyd as first reported.

Kilmarnock have deserved their lead. They blitzed Falkirk in the opening minutes and now Lee Clark's side are 45 minutes away from extending their 23-year stay in the Scottish top flight and leaving Falkirk once more in the Championship. 

Allan Preston on BBC Scotland: "Miles better from Falkirk in the last 10 minutes. They are really taking the game by the scruff of the neck. That was a real chance, but there was not enough pace in the cross from Baird and Sibbald had it all to do with the overhead kick."

Falkirk create their best chance yet as John Baird's chip into the penalty box finds Craig Sibbald, but the midfielder's athletic hitch-kick can only send it looping into the arms of former team-mate Jamie MacDonald from 15 yards.

Falkirk are coming back into the game and Bob McHugh is found inside the penalty box by a Mark Kerr cross, but the striker heads well wide from 16 yards.

Allan Preston on BBC Radio Scotland: "Luke Leahy can't handle Josh Magennis at all. He is bullying him off the ball, beating him for pace. He is their match-winner. Kilmarnock's game plan is working to a tee. They are hounding Falkirk."

Josh Magennis chips the ball over the Falkirk defence after the visitors give the ball away again, it falls nicely for Kris Boyd, but the former Scotland striker's first-time shot from 22 yards trundles wide of the far post.

Falkirk defender David McCracken goes flying inside the penalty box following a Craig Sibbald header, but referee Willie Collum does not respond to cries from the Bairns fans for a penalty.

Allan Preston on Radio Scotland: "Falkirk have switched off again, but what a dream start for Kilmarnock! It has been all Killie, they are hunting Falkirk down. Peter Houston has to get a grip on them because they are capitulating at the moment. This is a big test of their resilience now."
