Match Preview
Brechin plot quickfire double over Airdrie Brechin will be without Charlie King against Airdrie due to a calf knock as the hosts look to repeat December's win over the Diamonds and pull level with them in the Scottish Second Division. Gerry McLauchlan and Derek Carcary are also out, with new recruits Jonny Lindsay and Rory McKenzie in line for debuts. Glebe Park boss Jim Weir said: "A repeat of that win (in December) would be great but we know how dangerous Airdrie can be. They went down to 10 men that day and still scored two goals so we cannot switch off at all against them. "We have not played for four weeks so we need to get up to speed quickly, especially against a side that will be confident after hitting four past Stirling a fortnight ago." Midfielder Fraser Keast misses out with an ankle injury as Airdrie look for their first win against Brechin this season. Defender Cameron MacDonald is included as a trialist for a third and final time, with manager Jimmy Boyle hoping his side can open up a six-point gap on the Glebe Park men, who boast three games in hand. Boyle said: "This would be a big game for us to win as I am a great believer in having the points on board as opposed to games in hand. "Brechin played really well against us down at our place when they won 3-2 but we drew 1-1 on their patch earlier in the season and have it in ourselves to win this time out."

Match Report
Brechin grind out a draw Ten-man Brechin held on in the final stages to earn a 1-1 draw with Airdrie. Airdrie started the brighter and should have gone ahead in the third minute, but Sean Lynch dragged his close-range shot wide. But it was Brechin's top scorer that broke the deadlock as Paul McManus slotted home his 12th goal of the campaign from six yards. Airdrie pushed for the equaliser after the break and Jamie Stevenson should have done better than strike straight at Craig Nelson from the angle. The visitors got their reward in the 72nd minute as Stevenson's cross found Derek Holmes at the near post to head low past Nelson. Craig Molloy was soon dismissed for a second yellow card but Airdrie could not convert their pressure into goals as they had to settle with a point.
