A year and a bit ago, Falkirk lined up against Kilmarnock in the second leg of a play-off game with a 1-0 lead, with the winners playing in the SPL the following season. Killie won 4-0 to maintain their top tier status and Falkirk were left licking their wounds but resolved to go one better the following season. This followed a similar disappointment they had suffered the previous season. In 2015 they reached the Scottish Cup Final, losing to Inverness 1-2, then after a slow start to this season they sacked manager Peter Houston in September.
Today they lie second bottom of the Championship, 8 points behind Inverness and already looking doomed for relegation to League One.
Where did it all go wrong ? After being the "nearly men" I expected then to run away with the Scottish Championship this season, not get relegated. Maybe something untoward happened internally, but that is just a guess. Perhaps they sold all their best players ? Whatever. But it seems a shame that they have gone in the opposite direction to the one I expected.
