Review
The result was academic as Celtic had already qualified but they did enough to win on a warm night on the East coast.
Paul Wilson impressed as a substitute and scored a fine goal. Stein states he is now close to a starting place in the team.
Although no one knew it this was to be Murdoch's last game and he moved to Middlesbrough days later.
Falkirk 1-5 Rangers
