McGlynn should be in running, but Hearts will go left field - Halliday

Falkirk manager John McGlynn "would be a brilliant appointment" for Hearts, but they are likely "go a little more left field", former Tynecastle midfielder Andy Halliday has predicted. McGlynn started his coaching career with Hearts - and had a short spell as manager - but last season led the Bairns to a sixth-place finish in their first season back in the Scottish Premiership. "John McGlynn should stand a chance, that's for sure," Halliday told BBC Scotland's Sportsound when asked to assess his chances of succeeding Derek McInnes, who has joined Rangers.
