Portuguese striker Pedro Moutinho has rejoined struggling Falkirk on a short-term contract until January.

Having spent four seasons with the Bairns, the 30-year-old left Scotland in favour of a return to his homeland with CS Maritimo in May 2008.

Moutinho has been training with Falkirk for several weeks as he negotiated a release from Maritimo.

Meanwhile, 31-year-old Portuguese defensive midfielder Pele is on trial with the Bairns.

Pele has experience of British football after spells at Southampton and West Brom.

And Falkirk manager Eddie May told BBC Scotland if he does well in training and a deal can be concluded he will go straight into the squad for the match against Celtic on Sunday.
