The Bairns, being watched by new manager Gary Holt who starts work on Monday, secured win number four in a row thanks to four second -half goals.
Sean Higgins almost gave Falkirk an early lead with a lob that just dropped past the post and the Blue Brazil’s Greg Stewart missed a great chance shooting straight at Michael McGovern.

The deadlock was broken 21 minutes from time when Fulton’s cross from the left travelled to the far post and Dods sent a side-foot volley home.
The second came nine minutes later when Liam Rowan’s low cross was edged forward by Higgins before Sibbald touched home from close range.
Higgins shot home a penalty after Fulton had been fouled with three minutes left before calmly slotting past Stewart in the closing stages.
