Season summary

Falkirk repeated last season's 7th-placed finish.

Falkirk's kit was manufactured by Lotto, following the end of Falkirk's deal with TFG. The kit was sponsored by Central Demolition.

The home kit was designed to resemble Falkirk's kit from their 1957 Scottish Cup triumph, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the victory.
