'Manager of the century' if McGlynn completes cup triumph

Motherwell midfielder Andy Halliday has been blown away by Falkirk's rise through the divisions and says a Scottish Cup final would be the icing on the cake for John McGlynn's side.

The Bairns secured back-to-back promotions from League One to the top flight and have showed no signs of slowing down.

McGlynn's men have secured a top-six finish and will reach a first Scottish Cup final since 2015 if they defeat bitter rivals Dunfermline at Hampden on Saturday.

"You can't speak highly enough of what they've done this season," Halliday told the BBC’s Scottish Football Podcast.

"Being in League One two years ago, you could expect them to come up from the Championship and really struggle but it just shows you what good coaching and good recruitment does.

"It was two years ago in January that Falkirk played Edinburgh City in League One, it was a mid-table clash and now Falkirk are sitting in the top six and Edinburgh City are bottom of League Two.

"The trajectory of the journey they've been on is incredible and if they can follow that up with a Scottish Cup final and then dream even further about going on to win it, it's manager of the century never mind manager of the year."
