THIS MEANS THE WORLDIE TO ME

FAL 2 DUN 1 FALKIRK v DUNDEE GORDON PARKS AT FALKIRK STADIUM

- 

IF Carlsberg did Premiership debuts then Connor Allan's first bow with Falkirk would have followed the script.

The 21-year-old’s sublime last-minute winner was one thing but the fact he was a Hobson's choice pick in defence summed up a dream afternoon for the former Rangers kid.

It required the twists of fate of a severe lack of backline options for the midfielder to be handed his first start in an unfamiliar role and he was in dreamland after his last-gasp goal delivered three points against Dundee.

Allan said: “I probably couldn't have scripted the game any better - well, maybe a clean sheet as well.

“It was a great feeling to get the goal and straight after it it's just trying to calm yourself back down because you know they're coming right back at you. But it’s a day I'll remember forever and I'm just happy I was able to contribute to the win.

“When I played in midfield, I was a dribbler of the ball and I would try to make things happen.

“It just all opened up for me. Normally when I get in front of the goal, it ends up being a sclaff or something. But it was nice and composed and I was able to find the corner.
