Togetherness key in brutal upcoming run

After almost three weeks without a competitive game, Falkirk are finally coming out of cold storage this weekend.
Unfortunately, we couldn't have asked for a much tougher way to get back into the swing of things, with a trip to Glasgow to face Celtic.
And that's only the beginning of what looks an incredibly challenging couple of weeks. We host Rangers the following Wednesday, travel to Dundee United three days later and then return home for midweek action against Hearts.

It's a brutal run of fixtures, particularly when you consider we're still finding our feet with a squad that's undergone such a significant overhaul during the summer.
There is no doubt in my mind we're capable of picking up points during this run, but equally, we have to be realistic enough to recognise it will be difficult.
The next few weeks are likely to test us considerably, but we can't allow ourselves to become too downbeat. One of the biggest reasons we've gone from League One to the top flight in such a short time is the togetherness at the club.
We've seen what can happen when the supporters, manager and players all pull in the same direction, and that unity is going to be every bit as important now as it has been throughout the journey to get here.
