Falkirk start life in Championship with victory over Queen’s Park

Newly-promoted Falkirk claimed a 2-1 victory over Queen’s Park in the opening match of the William Hill Championship season.

Hosts Falkirk, last term’s League One champions, went ahead after 33 minutes courtesy of Calvin Miller’s strike, the winger tucking his effort past the goalkeeper from a tight angle.

Queen’s Park responded a minute after half-time through Dom Thomas, but Falkirk hit back just two minutes later as Sean Mackie finished from six yards to clinch the win.
