AIRDRIE could close the gap to the promotion play-off zone to four points tomorrow.

​

The Diamonds host Forfar in a vital Irn-Bru Second Division match for both teams.

​

Jimmy Boyle's men know a win would move them four points behind fourth-placed Stenhousemuir if the Warriors lose at Cowdenbeath.

​

And they could climb two places in the table should East Fife and Brechin City fail to beat Dumbarton and Albion Rovers, respectively.

​

Extending their unbeaten record to four games will be another priority for Airdrie when the Loons come calling.

​

Confidence is high within the squad after Cameron MacDonald's goal sealed a 1-0 derby-day win at Rovers last weekend.

​

Manager Boyle said: "I thought we deserved to win the game and that was all down to hard work and a determination not to get beat.

​

"We need more of this in the next eight games if we are to have a chance of getting into the top four.

​

"We're now undefeated in three games and our performances against Rovers and Cowdenbeath, and during the second-half at Arbroath, have been good. We just need to go on a winning run now."

​

Airdrie are at virtually full-strength with top goalscorer Ryan Donnelly back from suspension.
