Falkirk’s Remarkable Resurgence

Two years after languishing in Scotland’s third tier, Falkirk FC delivered another signature comeback to draw 2-2 with Hibernian – their third recovery from a deficit this season. The Bairns have now claimed 2,800+ minutes of Premiership football this campaign while selling over 6,000 season tickets, signaling a club reborn.

Match Breakdown:

• First Half Struggles: Hibs capitalized on defensive lapses with goals from Boyle (23’) and Nisbet (37’)
• Turning Point: Ross MacIver’s injury-time header (45+3’) shifted momentum
• Second Half Domination: Liam Henderson’s towering header (65’) completed the revival
• Late Drama: Triple substitution (Graham/Arfield/Agyeman) nearly stole victory

Tactical Insights:

"Their front-three rotations overwhelmed Hibs’ backline," noted BBC pundit Billy Dodds. Manager McGlynn emphasized pre-game preparation: "We studied Hibs’ vulnerability to late-half goals – that knowledge won us the point."
