Falkirk boss John McGlynn only expects to add another three players to his Bairns squad, trusting a lot of the squad that won promotion from the Championship last season.Scott Bain and Brian Graham have been the only additions so far this summer, two experienced operators joining from Celtic and Partick Thistle respectively."We're going to have a continuity within our squad," McGlynn told BBC Scotland. "We're not going to make loads of changes. We've made two."We expect to bring in another three to give us a boost to help what we've got. But that continuity, the players' camaraderie and the togetherness that they've got, we're relying a lot on that."The manager also pointed out the difference between Falkirk coming up as compared to Dundee United the season prior."We have the example of Dundee United going up and doing particularly well. There's an example there that you can go up and do well."Now, Jim does very well in that market, bringing in the foreign players. We've not got plenty of foreign players coming to us, but he's had that at Aberdeen, he's got trust in the people that he's dealing with there.""That's further down the line for us. We're still focussing on UK players, looking at some loan deals still to materialise."But that's really, really important. Recruitment is important. We didn't do a lot coming up from League One and the team went out and produced. It is a big step."
