Falkirk manager John McGlynn has been speaking to the media before the Scottish Cup fifth-round tie with Stenhousemuir on Sunday (live on BBC Scotland).

Here are the key lines:

• McGlynn believes counterpart Gary Naysmith has done a “very good job” at rivals Stenhousemuir, who are top of League One in competition with full-time teams, and says promotion to the Championship would be “amazing”.

• The manager admits “the fact it’s a derby game certainly does make it bigger, and the fact it’s a Scottish Cup tie makes it a potential banana skin” and adds “anything could happen”.

• He says Stenhousemuir’s last cup result – a 4-0 win against Championship Morton – shows they “can rise to the occasion and they’re no mugs”.

• McGlynn isn’t worried about Falkirk being big favourites as they have experience of it in League One and in the Championship last season.

• On team news: “One or two wee knocks and bruises, not quite sure we’ll have everyone who played the other night”. Ben Parkinson, Ross MacIver, Ethan Williams and Gary Oliver all remain out.

• McGlynn admits this busy period “will test the squad” but highlights how well individuals have stepped up, singling out striker Barney Stewart.

• McGlynn revealed his message to the players is “you’re two games away from Hampden” and if they get to the latter stages of the Cup, it could be “an absolutely amazing season”.
