Airdrie United vs Stenhousemuir preview - No Hill for Diamonds
Posted Saturday, March 19, 2011 by PA
Airdrie are without injured defender Craig Hill for the visit of Stenhousemuir.
The full-back underwent surgery on a facial injury this week and misses out along with suspended midfielder Jamie Stevenson.
Manager Jimmy Boyle is determined that his team make it four games undefeated to avoid being dragged further into trouble at the foot of the table.
He said: "We had a good performance against an in-form East Fife in our last game and we will be looking to build on the draw we got that night.
A win would keep us away from trouble and the longer we can do that the better as far as I am concerned."
Stenhousemuir have included new signing Michael Devlin in their squad.
The central defender has signed on loan from Hamilton and is expected to start if injuries keep out either of the injured pair of Scott Fusco or Scott Gibb.
Striker Scott Dalziel is also a doubt as the Warriors look to drag the Diamonds into the relegation scrap.
Manager David Irons said: "This is a big game in our season and it would be a great game to win as not only does it give us a lift, it gives Airdrie a lot to think about as well.
"We have been working on improving our defensive side of the game and hopefully we will be able to demonstrate that against Airdrie."
