Falkirk manager John McGlynn has been named Scottish Glen’s League One Manager of the Season.
McGlynn led his side to an unbeaten league campaign, finishing 16 points clear at the top of the table to earn promotion to the Championship.
The Falkirk boss also picked up the PFA’s Scotland Manager of the Year award and six League One Manager of the Month trophies this year, making him the most decorated manager in the SPFL this season.
McGlynn’s second year in charge has seen The Bairns score 96 league goals, winning 27 out of their 36 matches with nine draws.
"He is a true stalwart in Scottish football"
Colin Matthews, CEO of Glen’s owner the Loch Lomond Group, said: “John McGlynn has proven he is a true stalwart in Scottish football. Under his leadership, Falkirk maintained an outstanding, unbeaten performance all throughout the season, refusing to concede to the pressure of other clubs competing in the challenging League One contest.
“The club’s performance in April secured them the league title with a 5-1 victory over Cove Rangers, and a 2-0 away win over Hamilton Academical. With no defeats and having scored the most goals out of any SPFL club, Falkirk FC has truly thrived this season.
“My congratulations go to John and his coaching staff for all their efforts. It was an easy decision for our League One Glen’s Manager of the Season voting panel, and we wish them the best of luck in the Championship next season.”
Falkirk FC manager, John McGlynn, said: "Delighted to win this award, it’s been a phenomenal season and it’s really been a team effort. This award belongs to the assistant manager Paul Smith, all the coaching staff, the backroom staff, and of course, the players who have gone above and beyond this season reaching invincible status. They really have been incredible.
“Everyone has played their part, including the fans who have backed us tremendously all season. They’ve been a big factor in our success this season.
“Once again, really pleased and grateful to receive this award and hopefully we can continue our success into the Championship next season.”
