Many people over the last few weeks have discussed Sandy's contract, players all round about him a being signed up on two year deals yet we hear nothing concerning the management. Tonight the topic was discussed on L107 and Sandy said he was going no-where and have a verbal agreement with the club directors that he would remain at the club.
Sandy will be with out Brian McPhee who is still suspended and Paul Lovering, who surprisingly went off early in last weeks match against Queens. Paul is suffering from a knee injury that has not responded to treatment. A late fitness test will be given to Lee Hollis who is considered doubtful for tomorrows game. Stephen McKeown is expected to make a return.

Opponents News |
| If we think Airdrie are in a bad condition then Stranraer who are fighting for survival in the First division must be in serious trouble.
Stranraer have eight injured players and are struggling with Ian Ross, Paul Walker, Andy Dowie, Gary McPhee and Scott McLean all sidelined for the rest of the season.
And this week they add the suspended Alex Keddie, Steven Swift and Derek Wingate to the list.

Ref Review Scott MacDonald |
|
|
Referee Scott MacDonald has refereed only six games in his three year career, I repeat for the hard of reading six games.
In those six games he has produced nineteen yellow cards and three red cards, none of them thankfully has had anything to do with Airdrie.

Prediction |
|
A win would be nice as we move towards the end of the season.
2 v 1 to Airdrie. |
