    Falkirk's Ethan Williams celebrates his opener in the 3-1 home win over KIlmarnock

    Falkirk winger Ethan Williams insists they feel like "world beaters" right now after 3-1 win over Kilmarnock earned their third win in four league games and moved them to fifth place in the Scottish Premiership.

    John McGlynn's side earned promotion to the top-flight for the first time in 15 years after lifting the Championship title last term and now lie within the top six having now played every side in the league once.

    A blistering start saw the home side race to a stunning three-goal lead by the interval thanks to strikes from Williams, Ross MacIver and Calvin Miller, before a rally earned Kilmarnock small consolation through Tyreece John-Jules' goal.

    "The first-half performance was great from the boys," on loan Manchester United attacker Williams told BBC Scotland.

    "We started very strong, winning balls in midfield, getting the ball up to us attacking players and we got an early goal.

    "We know where we are as a team, how good we can perform, trying to win games. We've won three out of four now, so we've got good spirit in the dressing room."

    "We feel like we're world beaters right now. We can try and beat as many teams as we can. We've got good momentum so if we can make it four wins in five, we can just keep momentum going into the international break."
