No deal has been reached to take control of Falkirk council, with the SNP now set to run a minority administration.
SNP group leader Cecil Meiklejohn has been returned as the leader of Falkirk Council while Labour's Robert Bissett has been elected as the new Provost.
With no formal coalition arranged between any of the parties ahead of the meeting, voting between the different groups was so tight that it required cutting a deck of playing cards for the appointment of one position.
