Former Falkirk start Paul McGrillen has been found dead in his home. The strikers body was found in his home in Hamilton on Wednesday night. He was 37 years old.

Mowgli scored an impressive 23 goals in 82 games for the Bairns and also played for Motherwell, Airdrie, East Fife, Stirling Albion, Partick Thistle, Clydebank, Stenhousemuir and Stranraer. McGrillen was part of the Motherwell Scottish Cup winning team from 1991 but did not feature in the final.

He is the fourth member of that squad to die tragically young along with Davie Cooper, Phil O'Donnell and Jamie Dollan.

McGrillen was playing football for junior club Bathgate Thistle and featured as recently as last week where he played ironically against Motherwell.

All at Falkirk Mad pass on our best wishes to his family and friends.
