Airdrieonians V Stranraer - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.Same again for Diamonds Airdrie should have an unchanged squad when they host League One leaders Stranraer.On-loan Rangers centre-back Luca Gasporrotto is still away on international duty with the Canadian Under-20 side while a groin injury is keeping David Proctor on the sidelines.Ahead of the game, Diamonds manager Gary Bollan sid: "We went to Dunfermline and put in a good performance to get a draw last weekend. It was a big improvement from our previous game with Peterhead."We will need that same level of performance to get something from Stranraer, who have been strong all season. We ran them close at their place before losing 1-0 and it would be good to do even better this time."Stranraer have Jackson Longridge available again after he served a one-game suspension in the 2-0 defeat to Brechin last Saturday.Jamie Longworth has recovered from a back injury and should also return to the squad, with Blues boss Stephen Aitken perhaps even restoring him straight back into the starting line up."We did not play well enough last weekend and got what we deserved," said Aitken. We gave goals away cheaply and that is not like us so I am looking for better against Airdrie,"There has been very little between the sides all season but hopefully we can bounce back in the best possible way by getting a win."
