The 33-year-old recently lifted the lid on his switch to the Scottish Premiership newcomers, his relationship with their manager, John McGlynn, and Woods' role. 

He said [Falkirk Herald]: "I know John [McGlynn] from my time at Celtic and his time at Celtic. 

"I had come to [an] agreement with the club that I was going to be leaving. Stevie Woods spoke to John and gave him a heads up about my situation, and when I spoke to the manager, and having watched Falkirk and the way they play, I think it was a no-brainer for me that this is a club that I was going to come to.

"It is a great place - it is a well-run club that is set up well and full of good people. That was another reason I wanted to come here and I am excited to get going. 

"Obviously in the last couple of years I've not played as much as I've wanted to and I think I really want to just enjoy my football. 

"The way that the team plays is something that I enjoy. It's something that I've done every day for the last seven and a half years so I think I can bring a bit of experience and I can help in that way, whether it be a little bit of advice here and there and take the pressure of others in terms of how to play out. That was a big factor in why I wanted to come."
