Falkirk boss John Hughes refused to be too downcast despite seeing his side lose 1-0 at home to Rangers to remain at the foot of the SPL table.

The Bairns are three points adrift of safety with eight games to play and Hughes still retains belief in his squad.

He said: "We might have had a claim for a penalty on Michael Higdon, but let's take nothing away from Rangers.

"Everything that went on at that club during the week means it was a big, big match for them.

"There was a lot of attention on them and they have come away with a clean sheet and three points. You have to take your hat off to that.

"Even in defeat I can take positives. If we keep playing like that from now until the end of the season, then I'm confident we can pick up the wins to stay in the SPL."
