FALKIRK can get the better of old rivals Dunfermline on Saturday in their grudge match in League One.

The Bairns and Pars don't get on to put it mildly and there will be a bumper crowd of well over 8,000 for the clash this week.

And it's worth siding with John McGlynn's men here, even though they are outsiders at 9/5.

Falkirk's struggles over the past few years have been well documented. It's a scandal really a club of their size are still stranded in the third tier, but there are encouraging signs they are at last heading in the right direction.

They've won five of their last seven games and are starting to gel. The display of young Rumarn Burrell was reportedly impressive at last week's win at Queen of the South and although they are prone to throw in the odd stinker, like against Kelty Hearts the other week, they are progressing.

Dunfermline are top of the league, but there have been a few grumbles about their recent performances from their fans and Falkirk look a big price here.

It's surprising to see STIRLING ALBION at 10/11 to win at Albion Rovers after their incredible run.

Last week's win against Bonnyrigg Rose was their sixth in a row in League Two and they are going great guns under Darren Young.

No one likes going to Cliftonhill at the best of times and Rovers have proved stuffy opposition this season as they climbed off the bottom of the league last week with a battling draw against Stenhousemuir.

But Stirling have the likes of in-form Dale Carrick and Robert Thomson in their team and should be too good for the Coatbridge outfit, who still have only won once at home this season.
Take the Binos to continue that record.

DUNDEE have lacked consistency this season, but they are a big price at 7/4 to win at troubled Partick Thistle.

The Jags were flying high, but injuries at the wrong time have cost them and they are suffering from a severe lack of defensive confidence, having conceded an incredible 15 goals in their last four games.

Dundee have been a severe disappointment in sixth place, but they are just five points off the pace in the tightest of leagues.

They have drawn three of their last four league matches, but will fancy their chances in Maryhill and can get the win.
