BBC to show Falkirk & Livingston games in title race

BBC Scotland will provide live coverage of Falkirk v Hamilton Academical and Livingston v Partick Thistle on Friday as the Scottish Championship title race goes to the final day of fixtures.

Falkirk and Livingston are locked on 70 points in the bid to win automatic promotion to the top flight.

However, Falkirk have a healthy advantage of eight when it comes to goal difference.

Falkirk v Hamilton will be on the BBC Scotland channel, while both matches will available on the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website.

BBC cameras will also be with the trophy on route to its final destination.

The league leaders have stumbled in recent weeks, picking up just one point from their past three games.

Livingston have won four in a row, scoring 13 goals and conceding just once.

Partick Thistle are in a scrap with Raith Rovers for the last remaining promotion play-off spot, with the Firhill side two points in front of the Kirkcaldy team, who visit Queen’s Park.

Hamilton may also have something to play for if their appeal against a 15-point deduction, to be heard on the evening of 1 May, is successful.

The South Lanarkshire club have been relegated after the penalty was imposed, but could yet be handed a lifeline if the decision is reversed or moderated, which may have a knock-on effect on others at the foot of the table.
