- Hughes hails Bairns resolve
Falkirk boss John Hughes was delighted with the defensive strength of his side in their goalless draw at Hearts.
The Bairns held out at Tynecastle to boost their hopes of a top-six finish and Hughes was pleased with their efforts.
He said: "It's a tough place to come and get something. We were organised, had a good shape and were disciplined and resolute.
"We got them on the counter-attack three or four times and with better decision-making in the last quarter, we could have stolen a goal.
"That is five clean sheets in the last six games. I think you can see Darren Barr, after I gave him the captain's armband, is turning into a real stalwart for one so young.
"He was backed up by four or five others. I never saw my goalkeeper have a save to make, apart from one when he came out his box and that hit him on the chest."
