McGlynn flattered by Scotland links but focused on Falkirk
Falkirk boss John McGlynn is flattered to be touted for the Scotland job but insists he is fully focused on the Bairns.
After back-to-back promotions that saw Falkirk rise from League One to the Scottish Premiership in two years, the 64-year-old led the side to a top-six finish in their first season back in the top flight.

But, speaking after his side's 5-0 victory over Edinburgh City in their League Cup group stage opener, McGlynn insists his focus is on Falkirk.
"It's nice to have the support from guys like Craig Levein," he said.
"He's got great standing in the game, I worked with him and he's been an influence on my career without doubt.
"But I've got to concentrate on the job here and I'm just glad we got the three points today [Saturday]."
