Falkirk has finally returned to the Scottish Premiership after a 15-year absence, celebrating their Championship victory with a decisive 3-1 win over Hamilton Academical. Under John McGlynn's leadership, they secured back-to-back titles following a challenging recent history full of ups and downs. After languishing in League 1 for several years, McGlynn's appointment in May 2022 marked a turning point, allowing the club to regain its status as a competitive force in Scottish football, ending a long stretch of being labeled a 'sleeping giant.'
John McInally, from the Falkirk Daft podcast, told BBC Scotland: "I was just so dumbfounded that Falkirk found themselves in that position and then tumbled into League 1 with a whimper. It was just a sad, sad day for the club. That was the real low moment. It was a downward spiral in League 1 until we got McGlynn. He came in and completely revamped the side."
John McGlynn commented on taking charge: "Although it was a big job, we were excited at the prospect of trying to get it back where we think it should belong â in the Premiership."
