Falkirk 2 : 3 Raith Rovers - Graham treble sinks Bairns

Brian Graham hit a hat-trick as Raith edged Falkirk 3-2 to ease their relegation worries.

Falkirk took the lead after eight minutes when the league's top scorer Farid El Alagui picked the ball up 12 yards from goal and coolly slotted home.

Raith equalised midway through the first half from the spot after Kieran Duffie fouled Graham, who picked himself up to place his penalty in the bottom corner.

Graham got his second on the stroke of half-time, sweeping in a John Baird cross from close range.

Falkirk equalised after 67 minutes when El Alagui set up Blair Alston who emphatically volleyed home.

But a minute later Baird found Graham in the box who smashed home another unstoppable volley.
