Kai Kennedy scores Falkirk free-kick stunner as on loan Rangers man bags double at Montrose

Kai Kennedy showed a real touch of class as he curled home a stunning free-kick for Falkirk at Montrose.

The on loan Rangers winger has been a key player for the Scottish League One outfit with his midweek double taking his tally to an impressive seven goals and ten assists in all competitions for the Bairns. His first goal of the game was a looped header before he made it two from the dead ball situation just six minutes later to put the visitors in total control. The home side did grab a late goal back to make for an interesting finale in difficult conditions but the Scottish Cup semi-finalists held out to claim a big three points on the road.

The result pushes them five points clear of Airdrie - who they face this coming weekend - with a 12 point cushion over Queen of the South in fifth spot with just four games to play with a play-off position all but now secured as they bid to end the season on an almighty high.

A return to the Scottish Championship is the key target this season but John McGlynn's men are also just potentially 90 minutes away from a place in the Scottish Cup Final with a Hampden last four tie with Inverness just over two weeks away.

The Bairns have three more league outings before that semi-final encounter with every single player looking to impress and force themselves into the starting side.

On his two strikes, Kennedy told Falkirk TV: "Delighted to get my two goals. I think that is my first ever career header.

"I practice them a lot (free-kicks) and they've not really been coming off, I knew as soon as I got the free-kick I had a good feeling, I was confident and I am just delighted it went in."
