Brief team news ahead of Sunday's Scottish Cup semi-final between Falkirk and Dunfermline.

FOOTBALL Steven Pressley - 0

Sunday, April 26, 15:00 - Falkirk v Dunfermline

Falkirk will be without veteran defender Steven Pressley, who is suspended and joins striker Steve Lovell (knee) on the sidelines. Manager John Hughes still faces a shortage of attacking options, with Mark Stewart and Carl Finnigan concerns for the Hampden clash.

Experienced defender Greg Shields will miss out for Dunfermline after damaging a calf tendon. Shields is out for the season and joins Scott Muirhead, Kevin Harper, Graeme Holmes and player-manager Jim McIntyre on the injury list. Jamie Mole (hamstring) is rated 50-50 but captain Scott Wilson (knee) should play.

Top scorers: Steve Lovell (Falkirk) 10; Andy Kirk (Dunfermline) 15

Match odds: H 23-20 A 19-10 D 11-5

Referee: D McDonald (Scotland)

  2. You bigotted Rangers and Celtic fans are just a joke,­ half of you couldn't spell football. You show your­ real mettle when you dont support your national team,­ what a bunch of half witted bigots. Barry Ferguson who­ has an IQ of barely double figures sums up the demise­ of our national game.
