Carl Targets Uefa Place

Jan 13 2008

HITMAN Carl Finnigan is dreaming of a third-place league finish and UEFA Cup football after Falkirk's amazing run over the festive season.

Boss John Hughes has guided Bairns in to the top half of the SPL with six wins in their last nine games.

With the fear of relegation all but gone Finnigan believes his side can now look at the prize of European qualification.

He said: "You can dream of Europe. All the lads would love that.

"We are in a brilliant situation - but it's a tight league. We just want to keep winning and anything else is a bonus."

Michael Higdon is sidelined for six weeks with a knee injury giving Finnigan a chance to claim a regular berth.He said: "Michael has done an unbelievable job - but I've got a chance now and hopefully I will be able to hold my own."
