After earning a well-deserved place in the SPFL's most recent team of the week, it's time to praise the role that unsung hero Leon McCann has played in our rise from the third tier to the top flight. Joining Falkirk in summer 2021, our left-back is one of the few survivors in the current squad from the days when the Bairns were the basket case of Scottish football. What makes his rise all the more impressive is that John McGlynn often gave the impression that McCann wasn't his preferred left-back during our time in both League 1 and the Championship.

Joining Falkirk in summer 2021, our left-back is one of the few survivors in the current squad from the days when the Bairns were the basket case of Scottish football.
McCann's journey since then has been a testament to persistence, adaptability and seizing opportunities.
He played a massive part in our back-to-back promotions and has since taken to Scottish Premiership football like a duck to water, with his recent performance against Rangers the pick of the bunch to date.
What makes his rise all the more impressive is that John McGlynn often gave the impression that McCann wasn't his preferred left-back during our time in both League 1 and the Championship.
But he would still regularly force his way into the starting XI, often to the extent that he could no longer be dropped.
That has proven to be the case again during the early months of this season, as McCann consistently continues to put in his usual shift - the latest of which deserved the recognition it received.
