John McGlynn’s side won here in August last season – their first victory in the league in that campaign – and it truly announced them as a top-flight side.<\/p>\n
There was an air of that again, albeit they’ve already got a few wins under their belt this time round.<\/p>\n
But the complete rebuild at Falkirk over the summer, given how their squad was picked apart by bigger clubs, meant there was a sense of a fresh start this season.<\/p>\n
It took a wee while to come, and there were some doubts from even diehard Falkirk fans that McGlynn could repeat his magic.<\/p>\n
Just as he did last season, the Falkirk manager appears to have cracked the loan market – Owen Eames is a real threat on the left, Finley Barbrook is impressing in the 10, while Krauhaus came on and got the winner.<\/p>\n
Even veteran campaigner Ethan Ross looks to have a new lease of life, beginning to fill the sizeable shoes of Calvin Miller, while right-back Ryan Strain registered his fifth assist of the season before November.<\/p>\n
Three wins on the spin is not something they managed in the league last season, despite their plaudits.<\/p>\n
It was McGlynn who pointed that out post-match, keen to keep his players feet on the ground. One thing is for sure, they’ll need to be at their flying best on Sunday when they play Celtic at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"John McGlynn’s side won here in August last season – their first victory in the league in that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":668254,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-668253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=668253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/668254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=668253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=668253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=668253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
