Falkirk 2 - 5 Livingston: Yogi’s charges comes good
“Yogi”, who spent over six years at the Bairns before leaving to join Hibernian in 2009, saw his charges demolish the hosts with a scintillating attacking display.
Despite a damning final scoreline, it was Falkirk who dominated early proceedings, and took the lead through a neat Farid El Alagui chip, his 25th goal of a prolific campaign. However, Hughes’ side regrouped and produced a laudable comeback. Rory Boulding netted a first-half brace, doubling his previous tally for the season with two calm finishes past young Bairns keeper Graham Bowman, standing in for the suspended Michael McGovern.

Iain Russell also got in on the fun for a rampant Livi with a spot-kick following a bizarre near-post handball by Thomas Scobbie. David Weatherston’s goal for Falkirk was scant consolation.
