John Kennedy has named his side to face Falkirk in the Third Round of The Scottish Cup tonight, live on Premier Sports. The interim boss has decided to bring in some experienced players as the holders look to win their fifth trophy in a row.
Eddie Howe will likely be watching on as he is expected to take charge of the club in the summer and it would give everyone in the club a boost if we could end this campaign with silverware. Standing in our way is League One outfit Falkirk, who visit Paradise tonight.
