McBride was being tracked by Newcastle in the summer but moved to the Bairns from the Forth Valley Academy in the summer.

Going the opposite way in the past week has been Conor Hazard. The Celtic goalkeeper signed on loan at Westfield on Thursday.

However despite Craig Gordon’s injury at the weekend, he won’t be making a return to Parkhead anytime soon. Click here for more.
