Referee: Douglas MacDonald

Kenny has to shuffle his pack for today's match, top goal scorer and our best defender by a long shot Stuart Taylor has been ruled out due to suspension. Paul Lovering is also suspended. Kevin Christie is unlikely to make today's line us as he has been visiting Physio Michael McLauchlan all week.

On L107 last night Kenny black commented that he was pleased with our result against Clyde last week especially as it was only our second shut out of the season.
He also felt Mark Smyth and Paul Lovering were given harsh booking but couldn't go as far as saying that the referee was tougher on the Airdrie players than he was on Clydes.

Once again Kenny Black Will be interviewed at around about 6:15pm on L107 and will no doubt contradict everything I have written.

Airdrie Possible Line Up

Robertson
McKenna, Smyth, Tierney, McGowan

Opponents News

Rowan Alexander comes to us after a fantastic result against St Johnstone, Gretna's 2 - 0 win finally opened a gap between them and the rest of the league five points is not insurmountable but they are are proving to be the champions every one expected them to be.

Kenny Crighton, Ryan McGuffie, Ryan Baldacchino, Brendan McGill and John O'Neil are all on the comeback trail but may not be fit enough to feature in today's match these long term injuries are the only ones Gretna have,
