Win is a win but United know they can do better
A late Andy Geggan goal managed to shake off the 10 man Bairns and put them top of group G on six points ahead of the midweek fixtures.
United sit it out this midweek and return to duty with a home fixture against Stranraer on Saturday.

“The sending off was pivotal to the game.
“Falkirk are in League One, I’ve tried to sign two of their players, and their budget is bigger than ours.
“They have Championship players so it was a great win for us.
“It’s a cup competition and a great atmosphere, all-be-it things were nervy at the end.”

“We won’t treat Stranraerlightly, because that won’t be easy,” he said.
“But to be on nine points, with a decent goal difference, would give you a chance we’d hope.”
And should they do that and progress, McCall is hoping some of the cash generated may drop down to him.
“It might means us getting another striker in,” he added.

“I’m pleased with a lot of the aspects, but we can play miles, miles better than that.”
