Falkirk aim higher after confirming top six place

Falkirk goalkeeper Scott Bain is embracing the sense of freedom after the team officially secured their place in the top six of the league. This achievement came with one game left in the current phase, following a victory over Motherwell.

Bain recalled a previous experience at Dundee where securing the top six led to a dip in performance. He stressed the importance of maintaining momentum and avoiding complacency in the remaining six fixtures, especially with a challenging match against Rangers approaching.

With the initial goal of reaching the top six accomplished, manager John McGlynn has now shifted the team's ambition to achieving a fifth-place finish. This new objective serves as motivation, preventing the final games from becoming meaningless.

Bain highlighted that the team has exceeded expectations to reach this stage and can now play with a greater sense of liberation. He noted that prior to securing their top-six status, the team exhibited some nervousness, which he anticipates will dissipate, allowing for a more relaxed and potentially more successful performance.
