Match Preview

Fully fit squad for Brechin boss Weir Brechin boss Jim Weir's squad of 16 available players are all listed for the visit of Airdrie. Long-term injury victim Charlie King is the only first-team member not available to for selection. The Glebe Park boss said: "With Charlie out long term and Barry Smith joining Dundee as their interim boss we are very low on numbers, so thankfully no one else has picked up a knock." Weir is anticipating a tough game against the young Diamonds, adding: "They came back at us really well at their place to force a draw so we know what to expect. "Our aim is a simple one and that is to get another three points and stay in top position of the table." Well-travelled defender Eddie Forrest is in line for his Airdrie debut. Forrest has been unavailable follow his move from East Stirling as he was serving a three-match ban, but he is back in the frame. Forrest's availability is a welcome boost to Diamonds manager Jimmy Boyle, who is missing both Rhys Devlin and Kieron Stallard after the duo picked up knocks in last week's game against Alloa. Euan Grant is also available to ease Boyle's defensive worries as they face a striker he admires. Boyle said, "Rory McAllister has given us problems in our last few games against Brechin and I only wish his two-game ban was starting against us and not next week." "He is only one of the good players they have and this will be a tough game for us."

Match Report

City move top after win Brechin moved to the top of the Second Division on goal difference with a 3-1 win at home to Airdrie. Neil Janczyk gave City the lead after 20 minutes with a stunning 25-yard effort into the top left-hand corner. However, the lead was shortlived as Airdrie replied just six minutes later, Anthony Watt finding the bottom corner with a well-struck shot. Brechin retook the lead 10 minutes after the restart with another spectacular goal, Rory McAllister this time producing a strike from distance that found Mark Ridgers' top corner. Airdrie were then awarded a penalty with just eight minutes remaining. Paul Lovering stepped up to hit a tame spot-kick to the bottom right which Brechin goalkeeper Craig Nelson managed to hold onto. Craig Molloy made sure of the three points with a third for City deep into added time, slotting home a pass from Gary Fusco.
