KILMARNOCK, Scotland (Interstat) — Substitute Brian Graham scored in the 54th minute to give Falkirk FC a 1-0 victory over Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.

The decisive goal at BBSP Stadium, Rugby Park came after assists from Henry Cartwright and Liam Polworth. Lewis Mayo also recorded an assist on the play. All three players later received yellow cards, as the match grew contentious.

The result continued the diverging paths of the two clubs. Falkirk improved its league record to an even 6-6-5, securing a league double over Kilmarnock after a 3-1 win in November. The home side, Kilmarnock, struggled further, falling to 1-10-4 in Premiership play this season.

The match defied pregame projections, which heavily favored a Kilmarnock victory. Falkirk’s defense held firm after the goal to secure all three points on the road.
