Gary Oliver agrees new Falkirk contract in striker boost as Bairns close in on the title

Gary Oliver is the latest of Falkirk stars to commit his future to the League One title pushers.

The striker was out of contract in the summer but has agreed a deal until the end of next season. Oliver has been at the Bairns for a couple of seasons and has been a key player for the table-topping Bairns. The 28-year-old has a wealth of experience with Hearts, Queen of the South and Morton. Falkirk manager John McGlynn has already got a number of key players signed up for next season, like Callumn Morrison, Coll Donaldson and Liam Henderson.

Oliver is a player that McGlynn has known for a long-time and has become a key member of his squad. The Bairns are pushing on with the League One promotion. They are currently 17 points clear of Hamilton in the title race. Falkirk will continue their promotion charge when they play Edinburgh City this weekend and could claim the league flag.
