Falkirk veteran Jackie McNamara is considering continuing his career beyond the end of the current campaign.

The 35-year-old former Scotland international's current deal with the Bairns runs out next summer, but McNamara may opt to carry on.

He told the Daily Record: "I'll not rush and make any statements now. I managed to play something like 37 games last season.

"If I can get a good number of games again I'll see how I feel at the end of the season in terms of carrying on."

Bairns boss Eddie May had earlier stated: "Jackie dictates if he plays on, what stage of life he's at and if he's still enjoying his football.

"He can still play to a very, very good standard and he's shown that.

"We're not going to say this is his last season. We hope to encourage him to keep playing to that standard and it's up to us to look after him."
