We have not tried to just go in and defend and scrape for a point here and there. We've been out to attack in every game, we've played attacking football, attractive attacking football and we've come out in a top-six position, which is incredible."It means everything, actually.

Their performances have been so good, and I'm so proud of them."Visit our Falkirk page for all the latest news, analysis and fan viewsLeadership, squad consistency & common purpose keyThere are many factors that all need to come together to enable a success story like this to emerge.
