Falkirk endured a bruising 6-3 defeat to Rangers in the season‑closing Scottish Premiership match, leaving the Bairns still hovering near the relegation zone. The loss leaves Falkirk on 30 points with three games remaining, tightening the battle for survival.

Following the game, Falkirk officials received a flood of complaints from season ticket holders about away fans gaining access to the home terrace, one steward requiring medical attention and a chorus of sectarian chanting. Club chief executive Jamie Swinney issued an apology on X, promising to work with Police Scotland, stewarding partners and the SPFL to prevent a repeat, and urged stricter enforcement at events.

The board said a robust security plan had already been in place for the final game, but will now reassess ticketing and policing arrangements for any future Rangers visits. The club also noted that the incident could tarnish its image with sponsors, and community backers, urging immediate action to restore a safe atmosphere for supporters.
