Moutinho: Short-term deal
Eddie May has bolstered his Falkirk squad after bringing back Portuguese striker Pedro Moutinho on a short-term deal.
The 30-year-old spent four years with the Bairns until 2008 before going on to play for Maritimo and Rio Ave.
However, after falling out of favour with Maritimo the remainder of his one-year deal was cancelled so he could rejoin Falkirk.
Moutinho, who could make his second debut against Celtic this weekend, has joined May's SPL strugglers until January.
"I was informed by the president of the club the new manager wasn't going to play me," he stated.
"I had one year left so I was there to work, but they were a bit nasty. But it's sorted and now I'm happy to be back at Falkirk."
