Murrell Scores Twice as Falkirk Complete Edinburgh Double Over Hibs

Falkirk left Easter Road with three points and a result that adds to their recent run in the capital. Their 2-1 win over Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership was built around Murrell, who found the net twice and handed the visitors a victory that completes the Edinburgh double.

Hibs had the home crowd behind them, but Falkirk made better use of their chances. Murrell's two goals proved the difference, and the visitors stayed organised when Hibs pushed forward, which kept the scoreline in their favour until the final whistle.

The result matters beyond the table. Winning away at Hibs is never straightforward, and taking points from both of Edinburgh's major clubs in the same season is a sign that Falkirk can compete with teams from the capital, not just hold their own against them. For a side that often finds itself battling for position, a performance like this gives them something to build on.

For Hibs, the defeat is a setback they will need to answer quickly. Losing at home to opponents from outside the city is a result that will sting, and their response in the next fixture will do more to shape the season than this single afternoon.
