Former Rangers midfielder Scott Arfield has opened up on his emotional Falkirk homecoming.
The 36-year-old joined the Scottish Championship outfit on transfer deadline day, penning a short-term deal in West Lothian.
His second debut for the club came at the weekend against Partick Thistle, and it couldn't have gone any better for Arfield.
Indeed, in the opening minute, he opened the scoring before going on to net twice more to complete a dream hat-trick in an emphatic 5-2 victory.
Arfield recently spoke out on his goalscoring return: "It was just an amazing feeling," he told Sky Sports.

"Yeah, [it was] extremely special. This club is more than just a football club to me and to many people.
"As my career sort of moved on, it was always a club I wanted to come back and play for, or coach at or manage."
Falkirk currently sit top of Scotland's second tier ahead of a monumental clash with second-place Ayr United on Saturday, whom they are currently two points ahead of.
John McGlynn's side only gained promotion to the Championship last year and will be aiming to make it two in a row and go up to the Premiership by the end of the season: "The club has done unbelievable, and the manager and his staff deserve enormous credit to be in the situation they are," said Arfield.
"It's an amazing feeling."
Asked if he feels a sense of responsibility to help Falkirk return to the top flight, Arfield gave an unsurprising answer: "I do feel a bit of a duty," he said.
"Everything is aligned for it to happen, but there's two teams chasing for it.
"There's a burning desire to get back [to the top flight]."
