FootyMAD's Falkirk match preview

History of the Aberdeen v Falkirk fixture

Aberdeen play host to Falkirk at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Dons are clearly on top, having won 40 and lost only 15 of the 76 games.

The last time the two teams met at Aberdeen was back in May 1996, over five years ago, the Dons carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
