## Resource

After exceeding all expectations with a top-six finish in their first season back in the Premiership, Falkirk are preparing for a new challenge. Charlotte Cohen is joined by journalist Gordon Waddell and Falkirk fan Craig Cruickshanks to look ahead to the campaign, discussing the impact of key departures including Calvin Miller and Barney Stewart, the club's continued success in developing young talent, and the importance of another strong recruitment window. The conversation also turns to John McGlynn's remarkable work at Falkirk and whether his achievements should put him in contention for the Scotland job. Plus, predictions for the season ahead, player of the year picks and the mood around the club as another Premiership campaign approaches.
