With his side being convincingly beaten at half-time, Davie Irons must have thought his team talk in the away dressing room must have worked wonders. Temporarily at least. Airdrie had cruised to a 3-0 lead in the first 45, but ten minutes into the second half it was anyone’s game at 3-2. It turned out to be a fascinating spectacle

Celtic can think themselves unlucky not to get all three points after Udinese scored a penalty in the 87th minute tonight. The decision to award the penalty upset the home supporters at Parkhead as it looked like Gary Hooper hadn’t made contact with Piccoli Neuton in the box. Just as there was a penalty three minutes from time, the game started

This was a game which neither could take full advantage of, but both will be happy with a point apiece. It was certainly a far cry from the 5-0 victory Airdrie enjoyed over Stirling in the League Cup a couple of weeks ago. Stirling were the first to launch an attack, earning a corner in the first minute which the

It was a tale of one half at the Excelsior Stadium today as Monklands’ two teams came head to head – with one clear winner, as Airdrie ran out 4-0 winners over Albion Rovers. The home side dominated and made their full advantage in the first half before a dull second half which saw a red card, but no response

Last night saw the Old Firm and Hearts crash out of Europe before the end of the summer transfer window. Scotland manager Craig Levein, announced his squad for the Euro 2012 qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Lithuania, with a squad boasting just five players from the Scotland’s top flight. But also had his say on last night’s results for

Craig Levein said he is delighted to be able to recall Darren Fletcher to the Scotland squad for the Euro 2012 qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Lithuania. The Manchester United midfielder has always been a key part of Levein’s plans, and is back to “100%” fitness. Levein said: “He’s arguably our best player. A perfect role model and example

Cowdenbeath certainly lived up to their samba nickname as they paraded to the top of the Second Division in an emphatic win over Airdrie. They looked the part too, wearing their yellow tops and blue shorts, in a game which saw the home side make too many defensive errors for a team thought of as promotion play-off candidates. Despite this

At the press conference to announce the squad for next week’s international friendly against Denmark, national coach Craig Levein spoke out about the recent events at his old stomping ground in Gorgie. He said: “Another manager losing his job; I think we all should be certified insane for doing this job. “It’s a shame, I think Jim’s a great manager

Amid all the transfer speculation, David Goodwillie has been recalled to the Scotland squad ahead of next weeks friendly against Denmark. Having previously left the young striker out for non football reasons, Levein admits that strength in-depth is needed upfront. The Scotland manager said: “The striking position is one we don’t have a plethora of players for so it’s good.

With the sun high in the sky, it was a game that both sets of fans were looking forward to. Those that had turned up anyway. With Livingston fans commenting on the lack of Airdrie support through the medium of song, there was a distinct absence of the drum beats that often accompany songs from the travelling fans. It is
