- 4:50 PMYahoo Sports — McLeod knee injury a 'bitter blow' for Falkirk
"John McGlynn says Falkirk have been dealt a "bitter blow" as Conor McLeod is set for a spell on the sidelines following a promising debut at Celtic Park on Saturday. The on-loan Wolves winger set up the Bairns' goal in a 2-1 defeat at Parkhead, but a knee issue looks likely to keep him out of action for Wednesday's encounter with Rangers, and potentially longer. "But it's now at a point where we'll probably have to investigate it, which is a bitter blow because he's only just arrived here and made an impact on Saturday's game - a big impact on the game actually."
