Falkirk manager John McGlynn has been named the Scottish Championship Glen’s Manager of the Month after an unbeaten start to the 2024/25 league season.
Following promotion back to the second tier this spring after a five-year absence, Falkirk secured an impressive string of results in the first month of fixtures, earning a full 12 points with victories over Queen’s Park, Dunfermline Athletic, Partick Thistle and Greenock Morton.
Falkirk are currently on a 42-match unbeaten run in the league - the third longest unbeaten run in Scottish League history.
After receiving the award, McGlynn said: "I’m delighted to pick up this award on behalf of everyone at Falkirk Football Club. It has been an amazing month, starting off against Queen’s Park at home on the Friday night. There was a lot of anticipation to have Falkirk back in the Championship after five years, and we started off with a 2-1 win. Next we went along the road to Dunfermline for a derby game, we were delighted to win that game 2-0. Previously we struggled to beat Dunfermline in League 1, so it was a huge boost to secure the three points.
"We then had a massive cup tie against Hearts which saw the players do amazingly well, and then the game against Partick Thistle was a bit different in that they went down to ten men early and we conceded after being in front, but we managed to dig out a winner after the boys showed great character and kept on going. Finally was a tricky away game against Morton where we found ourself 2-0 down in Greenock. It’s never easy to come back from two goals down, and it speaks volumes for everyone involved.
"I’d like to say a big thank you to all the players, all the backroom staff, the media staff, and everyone connected with the club for their support."
