FootyMAD's Falkirk match preview

History of the Falkirk v Rangers fixture

Rangers face a trip to Falkirk at The Falkirk Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, determined to keep up their impressive record at the venue, having pummelled their opponents 52 times out of 80.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2006, the Bairns carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
