"Turnstiles will open 15 minutes earlier than normal at 1.45pm to encourage fans to arrive early and to help build the atmosphere in the stadium.”
"The game has been classified by Police Scotland and the club as a high risk game. There will therefore be a significant police presence around the ground and throughout the town.”
Before kick off, the club have also confirmed they will also be holding a minute’s applause pre-game as a tribute to lifelong Falkirk fan and volunteer Gordon McFarlane, who recently passed away.
