Falkirk team news

Falkirk enters this final pre-split fixture in a position of strength, having already secured a top-six finish under John McGlynn.

While the Bairns are still missing Louie Marsh and Ethan Williams due to ongoing thigh injuries, and Ross MacIver remains unavailable after missing the recent victory over Motherwell, the squad has seen several key players return to fitness.

Liam Henderson, Ben Parkinson, and Kyrell Wilson are all back in contention, providing manager John McGlynn with valuable tactical depth.

The team will likely rely on the clinical form of striker Barney Stewart, who has netted eight goals this campaign, alongside attacker Calvin Miller.

Rangers team news

Rangers manager Danny Rohl faces a significant injury headache as his side travels to the Falkirk Stadium.

The squad is depleted by the loss of Ryan Naderi, who is ruled out with a serious muscle injury sustained against Dundee United, and Tuur Rommens, who is sidelined with a thigh issue.

Bailey Rice also remains on the absentee list. Adding to the uncertainty, Andreas Skov Olsen and Mikey Moore face late fitness tests to determine if they can feature.

Despite these setbacks, the starting XI is expected to be bolstered by the return of captain James Tavernier and defender Emmanuel Fernandez, both of whom started on the bench in their previous outing. Jack Butland will continue in goal as the Gers look for a vital three points.

Form

Falkirk

Falkirk has enjoyed a stellar return to the top flight, successfully securing a top-six finish before the league split. They come into this game following a resilient 3–2 away win against Motherwell on April 4. While they have been inconsistent against the league’s top three, their ability to take points from Rangers—having drawn both previous meetings this season—proves they can be a disciplined defensive unit.

Rangers

Rangers are in excellent domestic form, averaging 2.45 points per game under Danny Röhl. They enter this clash following a high-scoring 4–2 victory over Dundee United on April 4, which briefly saw them take the top spot in the table.
