Falkirk manager John McGlynn has stated he is open to selling Oxford United transfer target Barney Stewart if an appropriate offer is made. Speaking to the Falkirk Herald, McGlynn said the club has received fair offers from two or three clubs for the striker. He added that it is still very early and the club does not feel any rush because other offers might come in.

The manager said he would still expect more offers, but is not sure if they would be sufficient for the board to accept.
