Falkirk manager John McGlynn is targeting two more loan signings to strengthen his squad after a 2-0 defeat to St Mirren in their Premiership opener. The Bairns currently sit 12th in the table with no points from one game, having conceded twice without scoring. McGlynn hopes to complete the deals next week as he looks to improve his options ahead of the next fixture against Dundee United on December 26th at home.
What positions are Falkirk targeting?
McGlynn has not specified the positions for the incoming loan players, but the club's defensive frailties were exposed in the opening loss. With Aidan Nesbitt currently sidelined, reinforcements in midfield or attack could also be on the agenda. The manager emphasized the need for quality additions to compete in the Premiership.
Why are loan deals a priority?
Loan signings allow Falkirk to bring in talent without long-term commitments, which is crucial for a club looking to balance immediate needs with financial prudence. The Bairns are 3 points behind leaders St Mirren early in the season, and McGlynn believes these additions could help close the gap.
What comes next for Falkirk?
The team will focus on integrating new signings quickly as they prepare for their home match against Dundee United. With only one game played so far, there is still time to turn the season around, but McGlynn knows the importance of acting fast to avoid falling further behind.
