FootyMad's prediction ...

Its a close one to call, but I think that Bairns's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Rangers. Home Win

Sequence statistics:
Falkirk Unbeaten in the last 5 home games.
Not drawn a match in their last 4 .
Rangers 5 games since last away draw.
No win in the 2 most recent games.
