An incredible return to Scotland’s top flight for the Bairns as they are in the final four of the Scottish Cup, along with securing a spot in the top half split.
John McGlynn has surpassed all expectations of him and his side from the start of the season.
The newly promoted side has secured a top-half finish and is just two wins away from a Scottish Cup triumph.
Stellar performances from the likes of Barney Stewart and Calvin Miller have been pivotal in Falkirk’s success so far this season. However, manager John McGlynn insists that their season is far from finished.
“We’ve succeeded, but we’re not finished. We are professionals. We’ve got to go about our business in the right manner. We’ve got a semi-final a week tomorrow, we’re gearing up for that. We obviously are taking care of the game on Sunday against Rangers.”
The Bairns’ final game pre-split is against a Rangers side in fine form; however, the Gers are yet to beat Falkirk this season, with the two teams sharing the points on two separate occasions.
Falkirk post-split fixtures
The Bairns can have a massive sway in the title chase between Hearts, Rangers and Celtic as they will face all three sides, with their final game being at home against Rangers.
Celtic v Falkirk (25th April 5:30 pm)
Falkirk v Motherwell (2nd May 3:00 pm)
Falkirk v Hibernian (9th May 3:00 pm)
Heart of Midlothian v Falkirk (13th May 8:00 pm)
Falkirk v Rangers (16th May 12:30)
But before Falkirk commence their post-split fixtures, they have a Scottish Cup semi-final date at Hampden, against Neil Lennon’s Championship side, Dunfermline Athletic, on Saturday, the 18th of April, 12:30 pm.
A victory against the Pars will see Falkirk face off against either Celtic or Saint Mirren in the Scottish Cup final. Their last final appearance was back in 2015, in which they were runners-up to Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Can Falkirk continue their impressive season and finish it with Scottish cup glory? Regardless of what happens in the closing stages of the 2025/26 campaign. It has been a brilliant season for John McGlynn and his Falkirk side.
