John McGlynn stated that leading Falkirk into a Scottish Cup final would be the pinnacle of his managerial career. The Bairns face Dunfermline Athletic at Hampden Park on Saturday in the first semi-final of the weekend. McGlynn previously reached the final as an assistant at Heart of Midlothian but has not yet done so as a manager.
Falkirk entered the semi-final following a 2-1 victory over Aberdeen in the previous round. The club currently competes in the Scottish Championship after winning the League One title last season without suffering a single defeat. Dunfermline Athletic reached this stage after defeating Ayr United in their quarter-final tie.
McGlynn told the Scottish FA that the opportunity to compete for a major trophy at the national stadium is a significant moment for the supporters. The manager noted that his squad is prepared for the fixture despite the pressure of the occasion. The winners will face either Celtic or Rangers in the final on 24 May, according to Sky Sports.
