John McGlynn details Brendan Rodgers Celtic lessons and reveals Falkirk half time talk that secured Invincible status

John McGlynn has opened up on the lessons he learned from Brendan Rodgers during his time at Celtic and THAT Falkirk half-time team talk that secured Invincible status.

The Bairns boss has had a season to remember as his side ran away with League One to book a return to the Scottish Championship.
