Dunfermline Athletic

Preview Airdrieonians

Wednesday, 2nd Apr 2014

Airdrieonians have now gone eleven games with only one defeat to Rangers at Ibrox. They are undefeated at home since Rangers beat them 1-0 on 2nd January.

Callum Morris v Airdrieonians

After tough games against both East Fife and Brechin City, Pars fans need no reminding that teams at the foot of League One are fighting for their lives. Airdrieonians have turned their season around and are now one point above East Fife who are in the play off place, and they are level on points with Brechin City with a marginally poorer goal difference.

The league season has five games remaining and the Pars require two results to ensure they finish second but with Airdrieonians desperate for points this will be the fixture to take points from. The Diamonds four other fixtures are against Brechin City, East Fife, Stenhousemuir and Arbroath so the dog fight is well and truly on.  Jim Jefferies team will be hoping to spoil the Airdrie players and fans day and has an element of revenge due since the defeat at the hands of Airdrie United in the final league match of last season, sent the Pars into the play offs.

Airdrie United were defeated 2-1 by the Pars in the first match between the teams at East End Park in September. Stephen Husband put the Pars ahead in eleventh minute of the second half but Liam Coogans equalised a minute later and it took an 85th minute goal from Andy Geggan for the home side to clinch the victory.

In the last meeting at East End Park Airdrieonians won 1-0 with Caolan McAleer crashing in the winner.
