Brad Spencer's Falkirk have their eyes on the Premiership

Falkirk midfielder Brad Spencer is urging his team-mates to maintain the Bairns' momentum after they made it a club-record 24 games unbeaten.

John McGlynn's side have not lost a match in any competition since 25 July.

Falkirk are eight points clear at the top of League One.

"It's been a great run and it's a great achievement by everybody involved with the club," said Spencer, the 27-year-old son of former Scotland, Chelsea and Everton striker John.

"But nothing's won in January, so we're still focused on being top of the league in May.

"John McGlynn's brilliant with the style of play and everything he implements to the squad, and how he makes you feel as a player."

Spencer joined the 2015 Scottish Cup runners-up in the summer, following McGlynn from Raith Rovers.

Falkirk have not been in the top flight of Scottish football since 2010, and have been in the third tier since 2019.

A crowd of more than 4,600 watched the Bairns beat Queen of the South at the weekend, so Spencer knows the importance of giving those supporters success.

"There's no doubt the club's not where it should be because it should be a Premiership club, and that's where we want to take the club back to," he told BBC Radio Scotland.

"Hopefully we can repay the fans' faith and keep putting in good performances, so that we're all celebrating together at the end of the season."

Falkirk host third-placed Cove Rangers in League One on Tuesday.
