Falkirk manager John McGlynn says he 'understands' why assistant coach Stephen McGinn is being linked with the vacant managerial position at St Mirren. The Bairns have secured a historic first-ever top-six finish in the Premiership, with just three games remaining before the league split.

Falkirk currently hold a nine-point lead over seventh-placed Dundee United and boast a 10-goal advantage in goal difference. With three games left, McGlynn's side is focused on reaching their 45-point target, which would effectively seal their Premiership status regardless of final standings.

McGlynn emphasized the team's immediate priorities, noting that securing 45 points would make their position "done and dusted." He also highlighted the competitive dynamic with Hibs, pointing out that a positive result could put Falkirk just one point behind their Edinburgh rivals. The manager stressed that regardless of whether they finish in the top or bottom six, the team wants to secure their target as quickly as possible.
