Falkirk quartet including ex-Lowland League star named in PFA Scotland Championship team of the year

John McGlynn’s team are closing in on promotion to the Scottish Premiership after winning the League One title last term - and they have have impressed all-campaign long.

The most impressive inclusion in the starting eleven is flying full-back Keelan Adams. The 23-year-old former Cumbernauld Colts star has made the step up from the Lowland League to the Championship with real ease. He has been ever-present this season so far, managing a couple of goals and four assists.

Liam Henderson has also been included after impressing at centre-back. Having shone in the middle of the park previously, the 28-year-old moved into the backline to cover injuries and he has helped Falkirk to 21 wins out of 33 outings. The Bairns have only conceded 27 goals.

In midfield, Brad Spencer was named in the team by his fellow peers. The ex-Raith Rovers ace is one of second-tier’s most gifted footballers and he has also managed to net eight times, assisting twice too. Rounding off the Falkirk inclusions is Calvin Miller - who has enjoyed a stunning end of the season. The tricky winger has grabbed nine assists and eight goals this term.

“Congratulations to Brad Spencer, Liam Henderson, Calvin Miller, and Keelan Adams for their inclusion in the Championship team of the year!,” Falkirk said on social media platform X. “The boys have been on fire all season, let's keep it going!”

The full team of the season for Scottish football’s second tier was revealed by players’ union PFA Scotland on Friday.
