Falkirk secured a place in the top six of the Scottish Premiership after a 2-2 draw with St Mirren on Saturday. The result ensures the Bairns will finish in the upper half of the table before the league split. Manager John McGlynn described the achievement as the greatest of his career, according to Sky Sports.
The club returned to the top flight this season after winning the Scottish Championship title without a single league defeat. Falkirk currently occupy fifth position in the standings with 45 points from 33 fixtures. They sit one point ahead of St Mirren and three points clear of Dundee, per STV News.
McGlynn praised his squad for their consistency throughout the campaign. The manager noted that the players met their objective of competing at the highest level despite being newly promoted. Falkirk now prepare for five final fixtures against the other sides in the top six. The club previously spent five seasons in the lower divisions before securing their return last year.
