Falkirk face a trip to Queen of the South at Palmerston Park on Saturday evening, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 40 games played, Bairns have recorded 9 wins, and Queen o.t.S. have come away with 16 victories.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2003, the The Doonhamers carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Scottish Division One match.
