Mark Millar will remain at Falkirk until the end of the season after Dundee United agreed to extend the midfielder's loan deal.
The 25-year-old left the SPFL Championship club to sign a three-year contract with United in the summer of 2012 but returned on loan in October having failed to make an impact.
He has played an integral part in Falkirk's seven-match unbeaten run, though, scoring twice during that spell. That convinced Falkirk to request that his stay be extended - Millar had been due back at United this month - as the club continue to entertain hopes of challenging for promotion this season.
Falkirk are seven points behind leaders Dundee, with the Dens Park side last night considering offering a contract to former Hearts striker Christian Nade. The Frenchman has been training with the club.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
