The 2015-16 campaign was a season of exhilaration and near-triumph for Falkirk as The Bairns, under the guidance of Peter Houston, secured a fantastic 2nd-place finish in the Scottish Championship. Leading the charge was the prolific forward John Baird, whose 17 goals proved decisive in a campaign built on consistency and a fierce promotion push that saw them reach the Premiership play-off final. Though they fell just short of promotion against Kilmarnock, the year remains a memorable chapter defined by a genuine challenge for the top flight.
