JOHN MCGLYNN WINS GLEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER OF THE SEASON AWARD

Congratulations to John McGlynn, who has been named Championship Manager of the Season for 2024/25.

The Gaffer picks up his second end of season award, having won the PFA Manager of the Year award, and his second Manager of the Season award in as many seasons.

The award caps off an incredible season for The Bairns, who John and assistant Paul steered to back to back titles, following on from last year’s invincible League 1 success.

Despite the title decider coming down to the final game, Falkirk were head and shoulders above everyone else in the Championship this season, scoring the most goals, keeping the most clean sheets, and conceding the second least amount of goals. The Bairns finish the season as the third top scoring team in the country, a testament to the way John’s team plays.

John McGlynn commented on picking up the award:

“I’m delighted to receive the Glen’s Championship Manager of the Season award, it’s been an amazing season for everyone at Falkirk Football Club. It’s very much a team effort, the success that we’ve had, and there are so many people involved in that. It’s nice to be able to receive this award on behalf of everyone at the club.

“I’d like to thank my backroom staff, who’ve been amazing with the support given me and the hard work they’ve put in every day. Their professionalism and personalities have shone through. The players have to take all the credit. Their professionalism, their togetherness, their work rate, their spirit, their camaraderie, the style of football they play, their entertainment value, they’ve been amazing.”

“The fans have been great too, selling out most home games. Playing in front of nearly 8,000 fans here has created an amazing atmosphere. I’d also like to thank everyone at the football club, the board of directors, the media guys, the commercial team, ground staff, the shop staff. They’ve all been pulling in the right direction. Thank you to everyone, thank you to Glen’s and to the SPFL for choosing me as the Manager of the Season.”

Congratulations, Gaffer!
