New Falkirk manager confirmed

John McGlynn has been confirmed as the new Falkirk manager.

He arrives at the club after leaving Championship side Raith Rovers.

The 60-year-old has previously had spells at Livingston and Hearts.

McGlynn replaces Martin Rennie, who was in charge for just 16 league games.

In a statement, John McGlynn said:

“I’m delighted to be here. It’s been out in the public domain for a little while so it’s not exactly breaking news, but we’re delighted to be at Falkirk. We appreciate the task in hand, as it’s a big job and a big football club, but we’re excited at the prospect of trying to get it back where we think it should belong.”
