'Excellent' Falkirk reaping rewards of 'hard work'

Watch Sportscene pundit Steven Naismith heap praise on Falkirk's impressive team performance in their 4-1 win over Hibernian on Saturday.

A hat-trick from striker Barney Stewart helped claim a statement victory for John McGlynn's side, who continue to defy the odds on their top-flight return.

Speaking on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast, pundit Scott Allan was also keen to hail McGlynn and his players.

"I love everything about this Falkirk side, the fact they've come up from League 1 and McGlynn's now starting to add to that.

"There was like 10 Scottish players in the starting line-up as well, and that actually shows you in this country we do have Scottish footballers who can play some really good football and take on information and go and carry it out for their manager.

"John McGlynn deserves all the praise that is coming his way at this moment, and they're filling out the stadium every home game as well.

"Some of the stuff the fans are getting to watch is dreamland stuff, but all that comes down to McGlynn, the trust he has in the players and the trust he's kept showing them."
