Cartwright focused on Falkirk's fifth-place chase
[SNS] Falkirk match-winner Henry Cartwright insists pushing on for a fifth-place finish in the Scottish Premiership would be "massive" for the club. The 1-0 Scottish Premiership home victory over Motherwell closed the gap to Hibernian above them to two points, leaving Falkirk with a potential shot at European football next season. That relies on overhauling David Gray's side in the table and Celtic defeating Dunfermline in the Scottish Cup final, with Hibernian travelling to Falkirk next weekend.
Victory also secured an unbeaten season against the high-flying Steelmen who occupy fourth place with Cartwright netting the winner moments after coming on. "I'm obviously not playing as much as I really want to and getting a few minutes here and there but I'm happy to come on and make a difference for the team today," Cartwright told BBC Scotland. "Of course it's massive [potentially finishing fifth] obviously, there's a [potential] European spot so of course that's what we're looking to do.
"It could be a six-pointer next weeko hopefully we jump them and see how the rest of the season goes. " "You know back-to-back promotions, finally got in the top six - it's a massive achievement but we've not got it by just being comfortable and accepting our fate. "We're always striving for what's next, so credit to the lads that have been playing every weekend, doing well and doing Falkirk proud.
" The midfielder, on loan from Leicester City, netted his second league goal of the campaign, the other coming in a 1-1 home draw against Rangers in October. [BBC]
