McGlynn expects to add another three to Falkirk squad
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 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."

Falkirk need 'solid spine' with 'top-flight experience'
We asked for your views on what Falkirk's priorities should be in this summer's transfer what some of you said:Fraser: We need a couple of defenders and a midfielder. Former bairn Murray Wallace is out of contract at Millwall. He'd be good to bring back. Could do with a left-back too such as Stephen Kingsley, and while we're at it might as well bring Jay Fulton home as well!Ryan: We need a solid spine that has experience of Premiership football. A new centre-half, centre-midfielder and another striker to compliment Brian Graham. Also feel an upgrade at left-back is needed for us to The key thing we are going to need to survive the season and most importantly stay up is depth, we need to get some centre-backs brought in as Coll Donaldson and Tom Lang are a bit injury prone and also need to add some midfield depth. Should we lose Brad Spencer to injury at any point this season we could be in real trouble in midfield, but in general strength in depth will be We likely need a centre-half to maintain depth after Luke Graham has returned to Dundee, though would like him back! We could do with another central midfielder, again mostly for depth. Most importantly we need some experience to add to the mix, the lads have been phenomenal the last couple of seasons but next season is another Now need another centre-back and midfielder to complete an upgrade to the spine of the team. Some of our youngsters will go out on loan. John McGlynn gets more right than he gets We have signed Scott Bain and Brian Graham which is decent, still think we need a couple more, central defender, Luke Graham, who we had on loan last season would be cracking plus a central midfielder with Premiership Luke Graham was excellent for us last season but he was only on loan from Dundee and has gone back to his parent club. With only three central defenders in the squad, Donaldson, Liam Henderson and Lang, we will need to add to strengthen our options in this Falkirk need a strong experienced centre-half and need to hang on to all of their current squad, including Spencer.
