Bairns mustn't rest on laurels in 2026

Around 2,000 Bairns left Dens Park on Saturday feeling deflated after our final fixture of 2025. The 2024-25 season will live long in the memory of every Bairn, as we secured the Scottish Championship title in dramatic fashion and earned promotion back to the top flight after 15 years. The scenes at the Falkirk Stadium after the full-time whistle against Hamilton Academical in May showed exactly what this club means to the town.

Around 2,000 Bairns left Dens Park on Saturday feeling deflated after our final fixture of 2025. But let's not forget - we've witnessed a year every Falkirk fan will cherish forever.

The 2024-25 season will live long in the memory of every Bairn, as we secured the Scottish Championship title in dramatic fashion and earned promotion back to the top flight after 15 years. The scenes at the Falkirk Stadium after the full-time whistle against Hamilton Academical in May showed exactly what this club means to the town.

Most of the squad have since tasted top-flight football for the first time and have already shown they can compete with the country's elite. In fact, we've rarely looked out of place - a testament to all the staff and players - and our strong points tally at the halfway stage puts us in a strong position to secure survival.

But while 2025 has given us plenty to celebrate, we mustn't rest on our laurels - 2026 will bring its own challenges, and everyone connected with the club will need the same fight, focus and spirit if we are to make it another year to savour.
