Scottish football preview

Falkirk are flying up League One and can extend their winning streak by making it third time lucky against bogey side Kelty Hearts.

Kelty have done the double over the Bairns this term but those games were back in the autumn, before John McGlynn's side burst into life.

Now, following last weekend's 2-1 win at Edinburgh City which made it seven tier-three games unbeaten, Falkirk find themselves just five points adrift of Dunfermline.

They boast in Stephen McGinn and Liam Henderson, arguably the best midfield pairing in the section, and they will fancy their chances at Kelty, whose only win in six was at a poor Clyde side.

Arbroath boss Dick Campbell has thrown the dice in a bid to stave off relegation from the Championship with ex-Stoke defender Lewis Banks the seventh new face in the door in time for the visit of Raith.

The Red Lichties won at Dundee and Morton in January to close the gap on those above them, including Raith who have also been going well.

Raith haven't failed to score in nine while each of Arbroath's last five has produced three goals or more.
