Follow live text commentary, score updates and match stats followed by match report from Falkirk vs Hearts in the Scottish League Cup.
Ethan Ross and Dylan Tait's second-half goals eliminated last season's semi-finalists and continued Hearts' winless start to the campaign.
Liam Boyce shot over and Kenneth Vargas threatened twice in quick succession as Hearts started brightly, Vargas hitting the bar and drawing a save from Nicky Hogarth. Falkirk broke immediately from the Spittal chance and Ross MacIver was denied when one on one with Gordon. And a clincher arrived when Gordon was closed down by Alfredo Agyeman as he passed out of defence, allowing Calvin Miller to steal possession before squaring for Tait to finish.An early exit from the League Cup will be a massive frustration and another blow to confidence as Hearts enter the Europa League arena for the first time this season with a play-off first leg away to Czech side Viktoria Plzen on Thursday.
