Danijel ready to get physical for Bairns.

FALKIRK winger Danijel Marceta insists he is ready to make an impact in the SPL - now he has got used to the physical nature of the Scottish game.

The Slovenian Under-21 cap, set to return from international duty today ahead of Saturday's visit of St Mirren, joined the Bairns on a season long loan from Serbian side Partizan Belgrade during the summer.

After being taken by surprise by the strength needed to compete in Scotland's top flight Marceta has started the last five matches under Eddie May and insists he feels more settled in his surroundings.

He said: "When I came here in the first three games it was difficult because I was not used to it but now it's easy because step by step I am improving.

"It's faster and stronger than the league back home and the clubs are bigger, you have Celtic and Rangers and back home you have Partizan and Red Star Belgrade.

"I am very happy, the league is very good and the boys in my team are very good.

"I played nearly every game for Partizan when I was with them but the football is different.

"The Scottish league is one of the best in Europe."

Despite Falkirk being rooted to the SPL basement spot with three points from their opening seven games Marceta insists he wants to stay at the club beyond the end of his loan deal.

He added: "I am on loan for one season at Falkirk from Partizan. At this moment it's perfect and I want to stay. The fans are really good."
