"I'm very proud to be coming back home where it all started. This club means everything to me and I'm delighted to sign a deal to return to my boyhood team that I grew up supporting. I can't wait to put the Falkirk shirt on again and give everything for the badge. The opportunity to come back at this stage of my career feels right and I can't wait to get started next season."
"Dundee United are aware of an announcement made yesterday by Falkirk FC regarding a pre-contract agreement with one of our players, which included imagery not appropriate to the circumstances. We have since received a formal apology from Falkirk, which we have accepted. While we are disappointed with how the situation was handled, we now consider the matter closed."
Craig Sibbald, a 30-year-old midfielder, has agreed to return to Falkirk on a three-year deal when his Dundee United contract expires in summer. Sibbald spent his first seven professional years at Falkirk before moving to Livingston and then joining United in 2022. Falkirk's announcement included images of Sibbald signing the deal and wearing a Falkirk scarf, which upset United supporters. Dundee United subsequently received a formal apology from Falkirk regarding the inappropriate imagery used in the announcement. United accepted the apology and considered the matter closed, though expressing disappointment with how the situation was handled.
