Match Preview

Stevenson set for debut The craft of Jamie Stevenson is expected to be on show at the Excelsior Stadium when Peterhead visit Airdrie United with midfielder poised for his debut. Stevenson signed for the Diamonds this week from East Stirling, but defender Scott Gibson will play no part as he is suspended. Airdrie boss Jimmy Boyle has goalkeeper Mark Ridgers available after injury as well as the attacking duo of Gary Muir and Ryan Wallace. Peterhead are currently rockbottom, but Boyle said: "It's a surprise to see them there, but Neale Cooper will have them working hard to get moving up the way. "This will be a really tough game and if it takes another week before Peterhead move off the foot that's fine by me." Peterhead will be boosted by the return from injury of goalkeeper Paul Jarvie. But Jarvie may have to settle for a place on the bench with manager Neale Cooper expected to keep faith with Jon Bateman. Defender Bobby Mann remains sidelined through injury, while full-back Daniel Moore, midfielder Nicky Clark and striker Davie Ross will also miss out. The Balmoor side have slumped to the foot of the table, but Cooper sees no reason to panic. He said: "All we need is a break in front of goal and we'll be fine. "Airdrie United have a bit of spirit about them so we'll have to match that to win."

Match Report

Gemmill ensures share of spoils Scott Gemmill grabbed a late equaliser to earn Airdrie a 2-2 draw with Peterhead at the Excelsior Stadium. The home side took the lead in the 19th minute when Jamie Stevenson's cracking drive found the top corner of the net. However, Peterhead hit back immediately as Connor Gethans equalised two minutes later with a left-foot shot from six yards. They went ahead in the 72nd minute as Callum MacDonald's cross was expertly put away from 12 yards by Martin Bavidge. But Airdrie were not be denied as Gemmill scored from six yards in the 82nd minute to give his side their third consecutive home draw of the season.
