History of the Hibernian v Falkirk fixture

Hibernian prepare to entertain Falkirk at Easter Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Hibees are clearly on top, having won 49 and lost only 19 of the 85 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Premier match.
