Murrell scores two as Falkirk claim Edinburgh double by beating Hibs

Falkirk secured a 2-1 Scottish Premiership victory against Hibernian at Easter Road, completing a notable Edinburgh double after previously defeating Hearts. Jacob Murrell put Falkirk ahead with a brace inside the first 37 minutes, finishing passes from Ryan Strain and Ethan Ross. Owen Elding reduced the deficit for Hibernian shortly before halftime by chesting in a cross from Felix Passlack.

Hibernian dominated possession in the second half but were unable to beat Falkirk goalkeeper Scott Bain for an equalizer. The hosts were briefly awarded a penalty when Liam Henderson fouled Thibault Klidje, though VAR overturned the decision to a free-kick outside the box. Falkirk held firm through late pressure to claim all three points.
