Referee: Kenny Clark

Kenny Black in this weeks Advertiser spoke about how the Motherwell match will take care of it's self, the under dogs yet again, Kenny will have the motivational experience to spur our Airdrie team on.

Kenny Black only had two injury concerns after Tuesday's game with Hamilton Brian Prunty who had been out with ankle ligament damage, Brian should make the squad for the Motherwell match. Kevin Christie will not make the match, his damaged leg is recovering nicely but it is too soon for him.

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