'The Bairns faithful should strap themselves in for another thrilling ride'

It would be fair to say that the last few years have been nothing short of a roller coaster for everyone connected with Falkirk. If Sunday's 2-2 draw with Dundee United is going to be the template for life back in the top-flight, then the Bairns faithful should strap themselves in for another thrilling ride. "People want to come and be entertained. That was entertainment. That was definitely entertainment," said Falkirk boss John McGlynn following the Bairns' barnstorming draw with United - and you best believe there will be plenty more fireworks to come at the Falkirk Stadium. Falkirk approached their first top-flight fixture since 2010 without any fear - and they will continue to do so against the rest of the division in the weeks and months ahead. There was so much to admire about the team's attacking style and willingness to go after the Terrors, but there was also a defensive naivety which McGlynn must work on given the challenges that lie in wait. The Bairns' bold approach is likely to produce more bad days among the good at the top tier of Scottish football, but it is going to be fun as long as it lasts.

Liverpool turned down bids in the region of £20m from Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town in the January transfer window, with Doak finishing the season with Middlesbrough. He has returned to Liverpool this summer, scoring in Monday's friendly with Athletic Club, and is again subject of interest from rival clubs. Journalist David Lynch has revealed that West Ham and Wolves are among the clubs considering the 19-year-old.
