and live on Freeview channel 276
The encounters between the Bairns and the Easter Road side were a highlight of the Scottish Championship in the mid-2010s but Hibs’ return to the top flight and Falkirk’s descent into League One has kept them apart for a number of years.
Lee Johnson will take his side to Westfield on Tuesday night looking for a second Premier Sports Cup group win in as many games following Saturday’s 5-0 win against Clyde.

“Here was me thinking I was a midfielder after the way last season finished, but I will just enjoy the games when I’m playing,” he said.
Hibs are closing in on a deal for Croatian left-back Marijan Čabraja but until that is finalised, Stevenson will likely continue in defence including against Falkirk.
“They still have a lot of quality and it’s a hard place to go,” he admitted.
