'They are going out to win games now, and that will suit us' - Falkirk boss John McGlynn reckons Clyde's new approach suits Bairns


The Bairns travel to South Lanarkshire hoping to stop a winless run of three games in the league after last Friday night’s 0-0 draw at home to Kelty Hearts.
Looking back on that match, McGlynn said: “We were so far ahead. If we got an early goal then it probably would have been three or four. We just couldn’t score and we tried everything. The decisions on the night didn’t go our way either.

“Then the penalty call for us with Callumn is more a penalty than it not being one. You’d like to think one of them would have went for us.”
Looking ahead to this afternoon’s match against Jim Duffy’s team, who are looking to ensure they finish in ninth spot, avoiding automatic relegation to League Two, McGlynn believes their change of attitude should suit his side.
The last meeting between the sides at New Douglas Park was an entertaining 3-3 draw, with Bairns striker Jordan Allan on-form, grabbing two goals on the day for his old side.

I think earlier in the campaign, they may well have been trying to take a point out of games whereas now I think they are trying to go for all three points.
“It could lead to an open game like the previous meeting in Hamilton and I think that would really suit us. There was plenty of great goals that day and we showed great character.
“We need to work hard against them because there is no easy game in this division and they showed that beforehand. We need to not give away any cheap goals.
“Unlike the other night against Kelty, when we get chances, we have to take them.”

“The good thing now is that we have a really strong squad to choose from.”
