Falkirk are seeking their first points in the Scottish Premiership after a 2-5 loss to Rangers. The Bairns have struggled in their opening matches, but a win could lift them off the bottom of the table. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 6th in Premiership, 46 pts, 13W-7D-13L from 33 games, recent form LLLWL. Goals this season: 45 scored, 48 conceded (-3 goal difference). Title race: 24 points behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian. Last result: Falkirk 2-5 Rangers (2026-05-16). Recent form (last 5): 0W-0D-5L (LLLLL, most recent first); lost the last 5. Falkirk's momentum from Europe, where they beat HB home and away before a 1-1 draw at HJK, will be tested against Motherwell's strong start to the season. The hosts have won their last two matches, including a 2-0 victory over Hibernian. Falkirk's summer group wins over Edinburgh City and Stranraer have given them confidence, but they will need to perform better in the league to climb the table. A win for Motherwell would take them to six points and could lift them higher in the early table. For Falkirk, a first victory would move them to three points and could pull them off the bottom in the opening standings picture. The visitors had more of the ball against St Mirren with 58% possession and delivered 21 open-play crosses at 19.05% accuracy, plus 18 aerial duels won, so width and deliveries could be their route into the game.
