Match Preview
Trio missing for Diamonds Airdrie United are without banned full-back Grant Smith and the injured duo of Craig Hill and Ryan Donnelly for the visit of Champions Livingston. The Diamonds need a win to keep their play-off hopes alive. Manager Jimmy Boyle, who watched Livi in midweek, said: "This will be a tough test for us as Livingston are still playing like they were chasing the Title. "They did not slow down against Ayr and I would imagine they will be exactly the same against us. "We need to be prepared for that but we are determined to give them problems too. We will look to win and then see what has happened elsewhere in terms of our promotion hopes." Champions Livingston will again be without Michael O'Byrne, Cameron MacDonald and Bobby Barr. They are able to welcome back top scorer Iain Russell after suspension. Manager Gary Bollan has challenged his men to end the season by winning their remaining three games "I do not want our standards to drop just because we have won the league," he said. "We have to be fair to all the teams chasing play-off places and we will continue to go out and look to win every game we have left. "We did okay last Saturday against Ayr when you consider we had Iain sent off quite early and were much more like ourselves in midweek when we won 3-2 against the same opponents."

Match Report
Livi hurt Airdrie's hopes Airdrie's play-off hopes were dented after Ian Russell's early double helped champions Livingston win 4-2 at New Broomfield. Russell easily headed home his first goal after five minutes from Callum Fordyce's cross. His second came just two minutes later when he fired into the bottom corner from just outside the penalty area. United pulled one back 13 minutes before half-time, Paul Lovering providing the close-range headed finish from Graeme Owens' free-kick. And they equalised 55 minutes in, Jamie Stevenson crossing for Owens to slot in from inside the box. But Raffaele De Vita's close-range shot from David Sinclair's centre restored the away side's lead within six minutes and young Marc McNulty secured the victory with a long-range effort 10 minutes from time.
