Boss Eddie May was a relieved man after seeing Falkirk finally win their first SPL game of the season, beating visiting Hamilton Academical 2-0.

Goals from Chris Mitchell and Lee Bullen gave the Bairns a much-needed lift after a poor start under the stewardship of May.

He said: "It was more of a gorilla off my back rather than a monkey with the first win.

"One thing I know is that the board of directors back me. The board have been fantastic since I have been here.

"The club has had nothing but success for the past five years and the people in charge are very loyal and very realistic.

"People have to realise when it's hard, that's when you have to back the team."
