Falkirk vs Hamilton preview - Weatherston vying for Falkirk start

Falkirk could bring striker David Weatherston back into to their starting line-up against Hamilton.

A calf injury meant Weatherston was restricted a substitute's role in the win over Morton last weekend.

Everyone else in the Bairns squad is available as they attempt to maintain their fine home form.

Technical director Alex Smith said: "We have a great home record this season where we have won five in a row here and we want to make it six.

"We bounced back last week against Morton after a couple of disappointing results and we know how determined Hamilton will be to do exactly the same.

"They will tighten everything up after losing six goals last Saturday so we will need to be extra creative."

Hamilton will hand a debut to Gordon Smith.

The striker has completed a loan move from Hearts as the Accies look to end a disappointing run of three defeats in a row.

Midfielder James Chambers left the club this week to return to Irish football and manager Billy Reid is again without goalkeeper Tomas Cerny, midfielders Alex Neil and Kyle Wilkie.

Reid said: "Losing 6-1 against Dundee last week was obviously disappointing but this is a time for everyone at the club to stick together.

"Our confidence is low at the moment but that can change and a good result at Falkirk would certainly help that happen."
