Falkirk defender Dean Holden is closing in on a first-team return after playing the full 90 minutes of a reserve game on Tuesday evening.
Holden, 29, has been out of action since breaking his leg eight months ago.
"I expected half-an-hour from him but he wanted to start and come off if he needed to," said Bairns boss John Hughes. "I'm absolutely delighted he lasted so long."
Meanwhile, Arnau Riera also continued his comeback from a knee injury during the 3-1 defeat to St Mirren.
