Falkirk face a trip to Hibernian at Easter Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bairns will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 47 and win only 18 of the 80 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in November 2005, with Falkirk inflicting a narrow 2 - 3 defeat upon the The Hibees in a Scottish Premier match.
