"While Falkirk might have sprung an almighty upset this season as they secured a top-half finish among Scotland's elite, the Bairns have failed to find any kind of fluidity on either side of March's international break. Last seen earlier in the week falling to a routine 3-0 loss at the hands of Premiership leaders Hearts, John McGlynn's men have lost four of their previous five showdowns against top-flight opposition. Signing off April with a 3-1 defeat against Scottish heavyweights Celtic, the former Livingston boss also has a real headache over his side's defensive struggles."
"Likewise, watching their Scottish Cup adventure come to a shock end against Championship outfit Dunfermline, Falkirk have notched just a single top-flight clean sheet since way back on February 11th. Shipping six goals in their back-to-back defeats over the past week, they should also be concerned by their most recent showdown against Saturday's guests. In fact, McGlynn's men fell to a rollercoaster 6-3 loss when they welcomed Rangers to town for a Premiership showdown back on April 4th."
"As for the visitors, while Rangers might have found themselves at the heart of a genuine title chase just a matter of weeks ago, Danny Rohl's side have come crashing back down to earth in an infamous fashion. Coming under even more scrutiny earlier in the week as they slumped to a shock 2-1 loss at home against Hibernian, the former Sheffield Wednesday boss also has some serious pressure mounting on his shoulders at Ibrox. With large sections of the Rangers fanbase making their frustrations abundantly clear and demanding yet another change in the dugout, Rangers have remarkably lost all of their previous four consecutive Premiership app"
Falkirk enter the match after a poor run around March’s international break, including a 3-0 defeat to Hearts and a 3-1 loss to Celtic. They have lost four of their previous five games against top-flight opposition and have managed only one Premiership clean sheet since February 11. They conceded six goals in back-to-back defeats and were beaten 6-3 by Rangers on April 4. Rangers travel after a sharp drop in performance, including a shock 2-1 home loss to Hibernian. Pressure is increasing on Danny Rohl at Ibrox as results worsen and fan frustration grows. With both sides conceding frequently, scoring in both halves is a strong possibility.
