Just 12 months ago, Falkirk fans were joking about dusting off their passports after the club secured promotion back to the Scottish Premiership. "Europe before you know it" was the light-hearted chatter—a playful nod to the high spirits of an invincible League 1 season and a Championship title triumph. But what was once pub talk now feels like a genuine possibility.

Fast forward to today, and the Bairns have comfortably locked in a top-six finish, doing so with style and determination. Saturday's 1-0 victory over Motherwell was another statement performance, proving the team hasn't eased up after the recent Hampden disappointment. The energy is palpable, and the momentum is real.

Now, all eyes turn to a massive clash with Hibs this weekend. A win would catapult Falkirk to fifth place with just two games remaining in the season. Suddenly, that European adventure doesn't seem like a joke anymore—it's a very real target. Could the passports need to be more than just dusted off? The answer is looking more and more like a resounding yes.
