Falkirk striker Michael Higdon is looking for the Homecoming Scottish Cup to be guest of honour at his wedding next week.

Higdon, 25, will marry fiance Lindsay in his home city of Liverpool following Saturday's Hampden final against Rangers.

The former Crewe player, who scored the goal against Inverness last week which kept the Bairns in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League, is hoping an historic victory over the SPL champions will signal the perfect start to his stag weekend.

"I have 18 of my family and friends coming up for the final and I can't wait for it," Higdon said.

"My fiance Lindsay and I have been together since school and we are getting married next week in Liverpool. So this weekend is sort of my stag weekend and I will make the most of it.

"And if we win, I will take the trophy down to Liverpool and put it on the top table at the wedding."
