Falkirk celebrated their first ever game in Europe with a 1-0 win over FC Vaduz in the first leg of their Europa League second qualifier. The only goal came in the second half from Ryan Flynn who is on a season-long loan from Liverpool.

New Falkirk boss Eddie May earned praise from his counterpart, German World Cup legend Pierre Littbarski.

"Littbarski told me that he noticed that I was going with young players and that it was the best way forward. That was his advice for me.

"I have huge respect for him and what he done as a player and I think his team did very well tonight.

"It was important for the players that we won and it was important that we kept a clean sheet.

"They put in good crosses and we defended it well so we can go there and maybe hit on the counter attack, and if we get a goal it will be more difficult for them."

May paid tribute to scorer Flynn, saying: "Flynn has only been training for four days.

"He was coming off his holidays when we signed him so he has a lot more to show as has Alex MacDonald.

"We will try to improve them and I'm sure they will enhance us.

"The four guys who have come in have shown a standard and that's why they are here."
