Hibernian 1-2 Falkirk result, stats and report

Kevin Nisbet gave Hibernian the lead at Easter Road but Martin Boyle's second-half penalty earned Aberdeen a point, ending a match that both sides will feel they could have won.

St. Johnstone rescued a draw through an injury-time free-kick from Enes Alic after Falkirk's Ethan Ross had given the visitors the lead on 60 minutes. A chaotic finale, four yellow cards, a red card, and a woodwork strike summed up a match that had more edge than quality.

Hibernian created the chances but could not take them. Kilmarnock took theirs. That is football, and that is why Hibs lost.

Hearts ground out a 2-1 victory at Falkirk on Tuesday evening, with goals from Ben Krauhaus and Owen Eames enough to claim three points despite Falkirk's James Wilson pulling one back. It was a result that flattered neither side, but Hearts had the ruthlessness when it mattered.

Hibernian have lost three Scottish Premiership matches on the bounce and kept zero clean sheets in their last ten. Falkirk arrive battered but dangerous enough to make this deeply uncomfortable for the home side.

Dundee United host Hibernian at Tannadice on Saturday with one thing abundantly clear: somebody is conceding goals. The question is how many.

Falkirk have not won in five Scottish Premiership matches and have conceded seven goals in that run. Dundee arrive at the Falkirk Stadium on Saturday with five wins from their last ten and a point to prove after back-to-back defeats.

Chris Sutton says Celtic are 'in regression' and blames Martin O'Neill alone for their shock 2-0 defeat at Falkirk, the club's first league loss there in 19 years. With just three wins in 10 games and a winless Europa League campaign, Kris Boyd is now questioning O'Neill's long-term future at Parkhead.
