The former Rangers prospect, 21, signed for the Bairns last January but went back out on loan to the Maroon Machine for the remainder of their Scottish League One season having spent the first half of the campaign loan there from the Ibrox side. And the versatile midfielder, who can also drop back, has been heavily involved in Falkirk鈥檚 pre-season outings so far ahead of the Premier Sports Cup group stages getting underway next Saturday. Ex-Rangers ace Allan loving life at Bairns “I鈥檝e had a wee bit of time to settle in,鈥 Allan said. 鈥淚鈥檝e been loving it so far 鈥 I signed in January and the main thing I have taken in is just how united the squad is. We鈥檝e got a proper good group here. “I was back on loan at Kelty but I was still training here and got to know how the management team and players work. The gaffer has been brilliant and I think that he will make me a better player 鈥 he has given me so many things to work on. “Pre-season has been great. To be fully involved is great, I watched the scenes on the final night and I wanted to be a part of that. Allan is now hoping to follow the likes of Finn Yeats and Keelan Adams and win an unlikely spot in the Bairns鈥 starting eleven. The likes of Barney Stewart also managed to break into the team at points last season. He added: 鈥淚 am hoping to kick on now. When I cross over the white line I need to make my mark in the team. There is a clear pathway here to play, you can see that.鈥
