Falkirk v Saints Preview

Last updated : 22 April 2005 By Stuart Gillespie
Falkirk are already champions so we won't have to worry about the jinx of our rubbish record through there cropping up next season. They finally got a new "stadium" in the summer, if you can call a football pitch with a stand at one side that, so will be leaving the first division in the summer. Hooray! An end to rip off prices, tents and them paying far more in wages than over division one teams.

With Falkirk already champions they'll hopefully not be too bothered about tomorrow's game. It would be nice to end our dire record in Falkirk before the leave they league, as it's nearly twenty years since we last managed a win there.

Mixu Paatelainen will still be missing for Saints with injury. Brian McGnty is also injured which, without being cruel, is a bonus. Laurie Ellis will also miss out through injury, whilst Hugh Murray is suspended. That could see Ricky Gillies make a rare start as he tries to win a contract. With John O'Neill already being told he's leaving it's unlikely that he will feature, whilst Mark Crilly has already left.

We desperately need to end this awful run of form in Falkirk and a win would guarantee third place and keep is in the running for second. Sadly I think we'll lose 2-0, with the departing Russell Latapy scoring twice.
