Sunderland will play Scottish Premier League side Falkirk in a testimonial game next month. The Black Cats have agreed to go to the Falkirk Stadium on Thursday November 15 (kick-off 7.30pm) to play in Andy Lawrie's testimonial. Lawrie, a defender, spent 11 years with the Bairns, playing more than 200 games for them before moving to St Johnstone last summer. Falkirk are ninth in the SPL. Sunderland's Spanish midfielder Arnau is currently on a season-long loan at Falkirk and has played seven games for them this season. Roy Keane has agreed to play the game as it comes two days before a break in the Barclays Premier League programme, due to international fixtures. Tickets are £10 for adults and £5 for concessions (under-16s and over-65s). Details on how to purchase them will be released soon.
