Ross County strolled to a comfortable 4-1 victory over troubled Falkirk as they returned to Victoria Park in emphatic style.

Playing their first home league match since early December, County turned on the style to condemn the Bairns to a fourth successive defeat.

The hosts started brightly and took just eight minutes to open the scoring when Mark Perry drove the ball home from the edge of the box.

And as the home side continued to press, Darren Henderson added a second midway through the half when he headed home from Frank Escalon's pin-point cross.

It was all County and Alex Bowen made it 3-0 a couple of minutes from the break with his 12th goal of the season.

In the second half, County took their foot off the pedal and were content to keep hold of the ball in the middle of the pitch.

But they still looked a threat going forward and it was no surprise when Steve Ferguson pounced on a defensive mix-up to steal the ball and score the fourth.

With time running out, there was no way back for Falkirk and when Kevin Christie converted from the penalty spot after Steven Craig had been brought down it was merely a consolation.
