Setting A Bairns Standard - Falkirk FC To The Top

Falkirk FC​

After an overall poor Season last year Falkirk FC find themselves Managerless, with no strong candidates for the post and the media tipping it a 'poisoned chalice' will anybody be willing to step up and take the Gauntlet that is Managing The Bairns.​

Falkirk FC Appoint 'legend' Archie MacDonald as Manager​

Today Falkirk have appointed former Footballer and Club legend Archie MacDonald* as their manager. The ex-Goal Keeper has no former Managerial experience and is expected to lead Falkirk to an overall disapointing season even worse than last season.​

* - A.MacDonald is a completely fictional Character made up from my own imagination, he is in no way a representation of any real life sporting figure.​
