Calvin Miller hoping Falkirk can replicate Ipswich with successive promotions

Calvin Miller is looking for Falkirk to write their own history by replicating Ipswich’s double promotion feat.

John McGlynn led the Bairns out of League One last season and has guided them to the cusp of promotion to the William Hill Premiership, sitting top of the table, three points ahead of Livingston ahead of Friday’s trip to Partick Thistle.

Miller referenced the Tractor Boys who achieved successive promotions to get to the Premier League in 2024, albeit they may be going back to Championship next season, as he looked to help Falkirk back to the top flight for the first time since 2010.

Falkirk have stuttered in recent matches with one win in four but the 27-year-old utility player, who joined the Bairns from Morton in 2023, said of promotion: “It would be incredible, taking the team I joined in League One and who got promoted, to go and do it again would be like an Ipswich scenario, a double promotion.

“I think that would be very historic and personally, it would be an unbelievable achievement and it would be for everyone in that changing room.

“Last season, with the invincible situation (unbeaten in league), you are thinking that is an amazing achievement and now there is the chance to do back-to-back promotions and get to the Premiership.

“We have not been there for so long, we have the chance as players and staff to create another piece of history, that’s why it is so important that we get it over the line.

“It’s not done until it’s done and we need to do a job on Friday.”
