Falkirk just hoofing the ball forward now. No-one's up there. Fair enough.

Ninety on the clock. How's your nerve?

This second half has been absolutely brilliant. Honestly. Brilliant entertainment.

Dipo Akinyemi, your team needs you now.
The striker carries the ball into the box but his shot is blocked. Tough one.

Falkirk are still playing like they're getting beat here.
They want to kill this game and have bodies flooding forward. Steady on, lads!

It's an incredible first touch, then a brilliant turn, but it's a massive deflection. The positivity of Kai Kennedy has Falkirk in front.
Kai Kennedy
Oh my goodness gracious me!
Kai Kennedy cuts in off the left, he has a go. It's an ambitous one which takes a huge deflection off Frankie Musonda before sailing into the top-left corner.
This is fitba. THIS IS FITBA!

I don't see a lot in that penalty decision, if I'm honest.
Chris Maguire is looking for the top corner but he can't find it. A huge moment in the game.

What a huge moment!
Chris Maguire goes for the tap bin but ends up smashing high on right-hand post.

Coll Donaldson is penalised. A terrible couple of minutes for the defender.
Not really sure whether it's for a handball or he trips someone. Replays aren't great.

Here's that leveller for the Bairns...

First Falkirk booking and it's for Coll Donaldson for clattering into the back of Chris Maguire while challenging for a high ball.

Getting a bit cagey now.
A goal for either side would surely have huge consequence...

Max Kucheriavyi has taken a sore one but he looks fine to continue.

Final 15. Anyone fancy a winner before extra-time?

Brian Kinnear, what a save.
The Falkirk keeper reacts brilliantly to save a Sam Ashford header.
The rebound falls to Dip Akinyemi at a tight angle and he smashes the near post via a nick off the goalie.

Oh aye, we've got a proper cup tie now.

I don't why he's putting his arm up there. The referee has a great view.
You have to say Falkirk deserve to be back in the game.
