Following their defeat Rangers on Sunday, attention among sections of the Falkirk support has quickly changed direction.
It has shifted towards Rangers return to Grangemouth for the closing game of the season.
Falkirk fans fury at crowd issues
With claims that away fans were present within home sections of the ground.
Supporters argue that once identified, these individuals should have been removed.
The perceived lack of intervention from both stewards and police has prompted criticism over matchday control and segregation procedures.
The policing and stewarding was weak at best and with a club having a “best in class” approach to things, the safety of its own supporters should be paramount,” claimed one online supporters group.
They also called for Rangers to be “locked out” of the Falkirk Stadium on the final day.
Falkirk response
Falkirk CEO Jamie Swinney has responded with a statement online.
Writing on X, he said: “We are aware and we will review and this will feed into the plans for the last game of the season.
“We will have a very different approach for the last game of the season. Lessons will be learned.
“The safety and enjoyment of our supporters will be our priority.”
Read Rangers analysis
With Rangers fans hoping for a potential title party, this brings anxiety that they could miss their team capture their first Premiership title since 2021.
Under Scottish Professional Football League rules, there is no fixed percentage of tickets that must be given to away supporters.
Instead, clubs are required to provide a “reasonable allocation,” which is agreed between both sides.
In practice, this often falls between five and ten percent of a stadium’s capacity, although this is not mandatory.
Allocations can be reduced for safety or operational reasons, provided the home club can justify the decision as proportionate.
Therefore, Falkirk can technically ‘lock out’ the Ibrox support on the final day, but would face backlash from both Rangers and the governing bodies.
