Falkirk prepare for a key Premiership fixture at home to Dundee this Saturday, aiming to climb from 11th place. The Bairns sit on six points after seven games and will look to build on their last home performance, a victory over Heart of Midlothian.
That win, secured by goals from Ben Krauhaus and Owen Eames, is their only league victory so far this season. Their most recent outing was a draw away to St Johnstone, where Ethan Ross scored a second-half equaliser.
Team news and recent form
Manager John McGlynn is expected to have a similar squad available for the visit of Dundee. The side that drew with St Johnstone lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Shane Bain in goal behind a back four of Ross Strain, Dāvis Meļņiks, Liam Henderson and Lewis McCann. The visitors, Dundee, are fourth in the table and arrive off the back of a home win over Motherwell.
A win for Falkirk would see them close the gap on the top half of the table. The club will be hoping for a repeat of the spirit shown against Hearts to secure a vital three points this weekend. Falkirk's six-point tally leaves them behind 10th-placed Ross County and adrift of ninth-placed St Mirren.
