Falkirk boss John Hughes has added a third experienced player to his squad for next season by agreeing a two-year contract with former Hearts winger Neil McCann.
Hughes has already snapped up defensive duo Lee Bullen and Jackie McNamara as he bids to make the Bairns a force in the SPL.
He told the Edinburgh Evening News: "It's fantastic for us to be getting a player of Neil McCann's quality and experience.
"I knew after speaking to him for two minutes that he will play a big part for us. He still has that twinkle in his eye and that enthusiasm.
"He'll sign a playing contract, but I know he's into the coaching side and studying for badges, so there will also be opportunities for him in that area."
Former Scotland international McCann, 33, started his career with Dundee and enjoyed stints with Rangers and Southampton in between his two spells at Tynecastle.
