Festive Football Fun For Falkirk

26 December 2011 09:27
SFL games take centre stage today with the top two in the First Division meeting today.

Stewart Murdoch could be posted missing from the Falkirk midfield today for the top of the table game against Ross County. The Bairn's midfielder picked up a knee injury against Queen of the South last Saturday and is considered doubtful for the 3pm kick-off today. Everyone else in Steven Pressley's Bairns squad is available as they look to reduce the Dingwall men's lead to just three points. Technical director Alex Smith said: "Stewart faces a real battle to be fit but thankfully everyone else is available for what should be a great game. The league has a shape to it now and we are looking to keep ourselves up where we are. A win in front of a big crowd here will set things up nicely for a very interesting second half of the season.'' Ross County welcome back captain Richard Brittain from suspension as they look to repeat last month's 3-1 success over the second placed Bairns. Russell Duncan is also available after injury, however Marc Fitzpatrick, Jonny Flynn and Sam Morrow are missing through knocks. County manager Derek Adams said: "This should be a great game where one side will have to give up a really good record. Falkirk are unbeaten at home with 6 wins and 2 draws and we have won the last 5 games on the road so I am obviously hoping that it is their record that goes. The players showed in our win over Falkirk and against Dundee last week when we battled back for a point how keen they are to keep hold of top spot."
