Airdrie United lost comprehensively to Falkirk with a brace from Andy Thompson.
Falkirk opened the scoring in the ninth minute when Craig McPherson found Davie Nicholls near the left touchline, and from the midfielder's cut-back Thompson side-footed home. Airdrie United had a decent chance when Mark Robert crossed in from the right hand side only to see Jerome Varielle mss the ball by inches.
The second arrived with 24 minutes on the clock, keeper Mark McGeown punched out a Russell Latapy corner but it fell to David Nicholls who struck a wonderful left-foot shot high into the net from 20 yards.
Two-nil at half time but it didn't take Falkirk long to add to their tally, nine minutes after the interval when Russell Latapy crossed from the right, Campbell knocked down the ball for Andy Lawrie who hooked home the third from close range.
Falkirk went four up eight minutes later with another great counter attack. A long defence splitting cross from Nicholls found Latapy unmarked he then went past Alan McManus before planting the ball into the roof of the net.
On the 78th minute, Mark McGeown did well to parry another Thompson's effort, but John O'Neil's return cross past the grounded keeper and Thompson had it second.
