Falkirk close to McGlynn deal but Rovers hope he will stay

LEAGUE ONE Falkirk are closing in on naming John McGlynn as their new boss. However, Raith Rovers remain hopeful that McGlynn will sign a new contract amid reports that the Bairns are hot on his trail. McGlynn is out of contract at the Championship side and said after Friday’s final league match with Kilmarnock that his future would likely be resolved in the next ‘two or three days’. Falkirk are said to be on the verge of unveiling McGlynn as they look for a permanent successor to Martin Rennie, who made way for interim manager Kenny Miller last month. However, McGlynn is still in talks with Raith chiefs. A Raith spokesperson said: ‘There is still discussion going on between our chairman and the management team. Nothing has been finalised.’
