71 percent think it will be alright on the night!

I'm starting to get worried now, never before have i seen such a large percentage of fans voting for an Airdrie win 71% of fans using the prediction league think we're going to win on the opening day of the Irn Bru Scottish Second Division.

Being a Scotland fan and an Airdrie fan it wouldn't astound anyone to know that i'm sick of getting kicked in the teeth when everything has the potential to be great! I'm trying not to raise my expectations and i'm insistant that a playoff spot will do....

The SFL website have Allan Maitland predicting the outcomes of the 1st division and to be honest I don't disagree with much of what he's written - Click Here

So taking it one match at a time Airdrie vs Dumbarton!

Dumbarton come to us with worries in their starting 11 James Creaney, Martin McBride and Bryan Prunty are all serving bans while Martin McNiff, Ryan Borris and Pat Walker are struggling with injuries! Alan Adamson hopes to include new signing David Winters in their ranks for the clash after he returned to Scotland following a spell in Vietnam.

Airdrie boss Jimmy Boyle hopes to build on the last weekend's 5-0 win over Stirling Albion in the Scottish Communities League Cup but will be without full-back Graeme Goodhall, midfielder Sean Lynch and winger Alastair Woodburn. We also have Jamie Stevenson fit and ready for squad duties.

The Stomps predicted a one side affair!
