Falkirk are ready to welcome Gretna to The Falkirk Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Bairns won the only previous game contested between the two.
The only previous meeting between Falkirk and Gretna at was more than three years back, in September 2004, with Falkirk running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Scottish Challenge Cup match.
