John McGlynn revealed Falkirk's early-season points target ahead of the Premiership clash with Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Wednesday night.

The Bairns' 3-0 home victory over Kilmarnock on Saturday made it back-to back wins for the first time this season.

Falkirk, who finished sixth last season on 49 points after coming up to the top flight, are currently seventh with 12 points from 10 games.

McGlynn said: "The last two games have been really good, seeing the team gel together, the spirit growing within this new squad.

"They seem to be fighting even more so. I could never really fault their workrate in any game, we have been in every game, but I've seen them go that extra bit.

"Against Hibs we were under pressure but they stood strong and on Saturday we got a couple of goals to go in front but it could have been a game of two halves with the wind going in one direction.

"But we made sure we did even better in the second half against the wind and it was pleasing that we more or less killed the game in the second half.

"It was a pleasing win obviously when you have been down near the bottom, a bit nervy.

"It is still early days, very early. The game against Aberdeen on Wednesday is the last of the first round of 11 fixtures.

"If we win that game - and it is a hard place to go - we would go on to 15 points which is what we got after 11 games and every section of 11 games last season so we are on schedule for that.

"It would be huge for a new team. To bring in 17 players and hit the same heights as we did over the same period last season, that would be a success.

"That's the target though, we have to aim for that.

"This team has got to create their own success stories, history, whatever it may be."
