Queens Slip Up Against The Bairns

Falkirk beat Queen of the South to go to within two points of second-place Hamilton Academical in the Scottish Championship.

Queens were unfortunate not to go ahead when a McKenna header hit woodwork early on but the firt half remained scoreless.

Blair Alston eventually broke the deadlock to give the Bairns the lead and Mark Beck quickly fired their second.

Queens came roaring back and Gavin Reilly reduced Queens' deficit midway through the second half.

Jonathan Flynn was sent off for the Bairns following a foul on Iain Russell and Queens had the opportunity to secure at least a draw but the woodwork and bad finishing were their undoing.

This was a close match which Queens deserved more but they now have an almighty battle with Dumbarton to secure a play-off place.
