MICHAEL TIDSER has vowed that Kelty Hearts won't make life easy for the League One leaders and has urged his players to relish Saturday's televised clash.

New Central Park will welcome the BBC Alba cameras for their match with Falkirk, which will be beamed live, with kick off pushed back to 5.30pm.

John McGlynn's side head for Fife top of the table - on goal difference from Hamilton Academical - having won five and drawn one of their opening six matches.

Tidser's side are eight points further back, in sixth place, after an encouraging start to their own campaign and he is looking forward to the challenge against the Bairns.

"I don't know how other people feel but these are the games I want to be involved in, as a player, and as a manager as well. You want to test yourself," he told Press Sport.

"Falkirk have always been a good side. I've been there at the club myself, I know it's a good club, and they're desperate to get up. They've been desperate to get up for four or five years now, so it's a good test for us.

"We obviously gave them a good game last year, took points off them a few times, so here's hoping we can go and give a good account of ourselves, and see where it goes come Saturday."

Last term, Kelty defeated Falkirk twice - once at home, and once away - and drew once in four meetings, with the other ending in an unfortunate late defeat at New Central Park.

Alfredo Agyeman scored twice in a 3-2 success at the Falkirk Stadium, where he is now plying his trade after departing Kelty in the summer upon the expiry of his contract.

The 'Maroon Machine', in particular, have a completely different look to their squad as compared to last season but, when asked if his team can take belief from the results against Falkirk last season, as well as their early season performances, Tidser said: "I think you probably can yeah.

"Obviously, the two squads are slightly different now. They've strengthened, we've had a lot of players that have moved on and have brought a lot of players in the door, but I'm sure if you were to ask John McGlynn, or the boys there, they'll tell you that Kelty's not an easy place to come. They'll know they'll need to be really at it to come and get the points off us.

"We'll not make it easy for them, just like any team. We've not got any particular team that we're trying to beat - we always do what we need to do, and it'll be no different come Saturday.

"We'll try and be on the front foot. They're a good side, we need to show them respect, and understand at times they'll have the ball. We'll need to be patient and understand their triggers to go and press and try and win it back and hurt them.

"That's stuff for us to work on us this week and hopefully come Saturday we can give a good account of ourselves.

"It's good it's on the TV and people can see us. It's important you don't get distracted. Falkirk will bring a decent crowd, we'll have a decent crowd hopefully, the TV cameras are there, so it's just important you go and do your job. That's what we're there to do. We're paid to play football, work hard, and try and bring our A game to any match we play.

"It's absolutely no different come Saturday with Falkirk."

On Agyeman's return to his old stomping ground, Tidser, who will be without the suspended Jason Thomson, but is hopeful Craig Johnston and Lewis Moore would return to training ahead of the game, added: "I know Alfie inside out. I know his strengths, I know his weaknesses. He's a good player and he's a good lad as well.

"I used to travel with him, so I'm happy to see him moving on in his career. He's done alright, he started alright this season, and it'll be good for him to come back to the club as well. That's football; this happens every week at all different clubs.

"Alfie won't get any special treatment, that's for sure. We'll be trying to get in about him and stop him because he's a good player and he can hurt you in the blink of an eye. We'll be well prepared for that."
