Bairns have come this VAR.. it's only right I chip in

Graham primed to get to grips with Prem defences plus tech

- ALAN ROBERTSON

BRIAN GRAHAM says he's relishing playing topflight football under VAR's watchful eye - because it may complement his game rather than curtail it.

And the 37-year-old believes getting every drop out of his game is the least his fellow Bairns deserve for allowing him to dine out on the fruits of their labour.

Falkirk Stadium promises to be electric come two o'clock tomorrow as the club end their 15-year absence from the top tier following back-to-back promotions. One of four summer recruits by John McGlynn, with him and Scott Bain the only two permanent additions, Graham is hellbent on proving he's still a match for Premiership defences.

Centre-backs tend to know they're in for a battle where the combative frontman is concerned, with refs chief Willie Collum and VAR manager Martin Atkinson briefing the new boys on life under the review system.
