Falkirk 3-6 Rangers: What McGlynn said
TL;DR
Falkirk manager John McGlynn expressed disappointment after his team lost 3-6 to Rangers, highlighting their strong start but defensive errors that shifted the momentum. He emphasized the need for better challenge execution and defensive awareness in future matches.
Falkirk manager John McGlynn told BBC Sportsound: "I though we started the game really, really well and taking the game to Rangers. We scored a good goal and then Yeats gets a great strike so I felt we were well on top. I thought we had Rangers at that moment in time.
"Unfortunately, we're giving away too many free kicks and from that they get a corner and from there we fail to defend it. We're claiming for the ball to be out when we've got no idea if the ball is out of not.
"On the cameras we've got it doesn't show anything. You know from under-10 level to play to the whistle. Instead of defending, we're claiming for things. We're maybe a bit unlucky it lands at the boy's foot to score but it's a lifeline that Rangers took and changed the game.
"The second half we were too soft in challenges. We've got to win challenges and that was the story of the second half.
"We tried to play through the eye of a needle, got hit in transition, were open and we got exploited and hurt.
"We got a goal back and didn't even give ourselves a chance to build on it because we concede again. All the goal s are poor and cheap. Fair play to Rangers, they got a lifeline and took it.
"We knew they would come at us and we just didn't have enough to prevent it.
"We've done so many good things this season we're not going to let it destroy us. There's a big game next weekend against Dunfermline in the Scottish Cup semi-final and it's an entirely different game and the stakes are very, very high.
"We'll pick the boys up, be positive all week and we'll be ready to go."
