Victory over Hibs was a much-needed boost and may also have helped Falkirk move past a mental barrier they had been struggling to overcome.

Late goals had become a familiar source of frustration. We were denied victory in a 1-1 draw away to Dundee United although, if we're honest, the result was deserved.

We then conceded with virtually the last kick of the game away to St Johnstone, before Dundee scored late in our most recent home game to take all three points.

I'm sure I wasn't the only Falkirk fan fearing the worst as we clung on to our 2-1 lead at Easter Road on Saturday. It felt as though we'd seen this movie more than enough times already, even at this early stage of the season.

Thankfully, this time it had a different ending. The three vital points should give everyone at the club a timely lift and hopefully help banish some of the demons from those late setbacks.

Our new-look side has had an up-and-down start to the season, but we have lost just one of our past five league games.

Ironically, that defeat came in the closing stages of the game, but there are still plenty of positives to hold on to.

Now we need to try to make it back-to-back wins for the first time this season in what is shaping up to be a huge game against Kilmarnock on Saturday. If there is late drama, let's hope we're on the right end of it this time.
