A hard night, Celtic were very good & the intensity they played at is something we can hopefully learn from for the league & future games at Celtic Park. Tremendous backing from the fans, thank you, we all appropriate it 👏. Great to see Keelan scoring his first goal & what a hit.

4 years to the day since I started at the club. An incredible 4 years in so many ways, from the lowest point in the clubs history to 2 of the very best years. Excited about what more we can achieve over the coming years. It’s a privilege to represent the club.
An honour to be given the position. I am very grateful for the opportunity & fully aware of the expectations & demands that come with the role. I will strive to make a difference, to positively impact all areas of the club to deliver success & a club that everyone can be proud of.

Brilliant scenes and what a noise. The stadium is going to be incredible this season with every game likely to sell out. A moment to saviour. It’s good to be back.

Excellent at times today. A draw the minimum we deserved. A good game overall, entertaining, end to end, a good advert for the league. An immense feeling of pride seeing the stadium full & rocking. The tifo was great, well done to the ultras. It’s going to be a rollercoaster.
FULL TIME: Falkirk 2-2 Dundee United . A hard fought point to start the season as The Bairns come from behind twice through Dylan Tait and Ethan Ross!. @crunchycarrotsm | #COYB

A great opportunity to thank @FalkirkfcSS members, a Junior Bairn and one of our fantastic volunteers. We have got to the Premiership by doing it together, it’s important that we recognise the collective effort that has made it possible.
💙 Ahead of our opening fixture against Dundee United, we are proud to announce that a representative from our Junior Bairns, @FalkirkfcSS, and a club volunteer will raise the Championship league flag on behalf of the Falkirk support!. 👉

A UEFA Pro artificial pitch is infinitely better than a sub standard grass pitch which we see regularly in Scotland. The false narrative around ‘you don’t see a good game on Astro’ is a prejudice based on poor artificial surfaces. Plenty good games @ TFS over the last 2 seasons.
It is set to be the last season where plastic pitches are permitted in the Scottish Premiership. A quarter of the top-flight clubs have synthetic surfaces, and we visited them ahead of the new season ⤵️

There are very few bands that transcend generations. Unquestionably the best band of the last 30+ years IMO. Seeing teenagers and people in their early 20s as excited as I was at that age is amazing. Proper band, real music, rock and roll. Hopefully it kicks starts the band scene.

I was asked to give an insight into the recent reconstruction talks by @AlanDRobertson_ . I am sure many supporters were disappointed that no progress was achieved. Like me, many fans believe that we can improve our game, however it requires a ‘greater good’ & long term approach.
