There had been little to excite the fans from that point until, just before the interval, referee Muir penalised Alston when McGinn attempted to play the ball around the outside of him but then appeared to slip.

The Falkirk players looked astonished as Muir pointed to the spot and, despite stern protests, the penalty stood and was duly knocked home by Cummings.

Muir had to be escorted up the tunnel at the break as both Falkirk players and coaches surrounded him to question his decision.

Oh aye, that sounds like a stone-waller.
