Jane Lewis - BBC Sport Scotland Senior ReporterFri, November 28, 2025 at 3:20 PM UTC·1 min readFalkirk manager John McGlynn has been speaking to the media before his side's league match against Rangers at Ibrox this weekend.
Here are they key points.
McGlynn admits he "couldn't have imagined" the start Falkirk have had to their top-flight return - "not even in a dream" - but says they occupy sixth place "on merit".
He adds: "Years ago we were playing Cove Rangers, now we're playing Glasgow Rangers."
His players are full of belief, especially after their impressive win last time out against Dundee United, and "believe we can hurt anyone".
Despite Rangers' European struggles McGlynn is expecting a formidable test given their Premiership form under Danny Rohl, saying: "They're a little bit different. I think they're pressing higher. They're going forward a bit quicker."
However, his players will go to Ibrox "with no fear" and intend to "express ourselves".
On life in the top flight, he admits "it's a huge challenge" but he's loving it.
Amid the Bairns' form of only one defeat in the past seven games, he says it's vital the players don't "get carried away".
Gary Oliver is sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Ross MacIver will be out for 10-12 weeks after surgery.
