Falkirk have signed two Northern Irish teenage prospects.
Striker Gary Liggett and defender Scott Gibb impressed in a 7-1 victory over Stenhousemuir Under-19s on Sunday.
Richill native Gibb will remain in his homeland for a year to finish his schooling before joining the Scottish First Division club full-time.
The 16-year-old will travel to matches when necessary, while Lurgan lad Liggett, a year older, has already started training with Falkirk.
Winning a contract completed a great week for Liggett, who also scored against Stenny and was included in the Northern Ireland Under-18 squad for this week's Three Nations Tournament in Gretna also involving Scotland and Belgium.
A Falkirk spokesman said: "Both players had been attracting the attentions of a number of clubs and Falkirk FC is delighted to secure both players."
