What they're saying

"
Manager John McGlynn says the priority for Falkirk is to retain their Premiership status but he won't "accept much less" than their remarkable campaign last season. "Craig's put his stamp on it, you've seen that they've scored four goals in three of their League Cup ties, until Sunday, so obviously the goals are flowing," McGlynn added.
