No panic from Bairns boss

Falkirk manager John Hughes is refusing to panic despite seeing his side drop to the foot of the SPL table after losing 1-0 at home to Aberdeen.
The Bairns have won just twice in nine league games this term, but Hughes still has faith that his team can pull away from the wrong end of the table.
He told The Scotsman: "I work to a points-per-quarter target and last season we took ten points from our first eleven games and that was what I was looking for in the first quarter this time round.
"We just missed out on a top-six place last time and I'd be happy enough to take the same number of points from the first quarter this season.
"It's still within our capabilities to do so and we could even surpass that total.
"We've been punching well above our weight for a few years now and this may be the season where we have to roll up our sleeves and dig in."
