Falkirk manager John McGlynn has opened the door for star player Barney Stewart to leave the club, provided a suitable offer comes in. The comments come amid growing interest from Championship side West Bromwich Albion.
McGlynn's Stance on Stewart's Future
Speaking to local media, McGlynn acknowledged that Stewart has been a key performer for Falkirk this season. However, he stressed that the club would not stand in the player's way if a move benefits all parties. "If the price is right, we have to consider it," McGlynn said. "Barney has been fantastic for us, but we also have to be realistic about the financial side of things."
West Brom's Interest
West Brom are reportedly monitoring Stewart's situation closely. The Baggies are looking to strengthen their attacking options and see the Falkirk forward as a potential addition. Stewart's pace and goal-scoring ability have caught the eye of scouts, and a move to the Midlands could be on the cards.
What This Means for Falkirk
Losing Stewart would be a blow for Falkirk, who rely heavily on his contributions. However, McGlynn is pragmatic about the situation. "We have to plan for all scenarios. If Barney leaves, we will look to reinvest the money into the squad. That's the nature of football."
The transfer window remains open, and further developments are expected in the coming days. Falkirk fans will be hoping the club can hold onto their star man, but the lure of Championship football may prove too strong.
