The derby was first contested in 1881 and the last major competitive fixture was in 2015.[3]East Stirlingshire was originally based in Bainsford, a small industrial village to north of Falkirk that is now a suburb of the town. The club moved south to the town centre in 1921 whilst Falkirk has been based in and around the town for its entire existence. The former home grounds of the two clubs, Brockville Park and Firs Park, were separated by less than half a mile and games between the teams sometimes attracted larger crowds than their usual average attendances. The last time the clubs competed in the same league was in 1981\u201382 and encounters since then have been rare; the last competitive match was in 2015 in a Scottish League Cup first round match which Falkirk won 5\u20130 at Broadwood Stadium.

The largest victory in a major competition was 6\u20130 for Falkirk in the old Second Division in 1961.Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Origins[edit]Last five competitive meetings[edit]Head\u2013to\u2013head record[edit]Major competitions[edit]Minor competitions[edit]References[edit]History[edit]Origins[edit]Falkirk F.C. was founded in 1876 whilst East Stirlingshire F.C. officially formed five years later in 1881.
