JIMMY BOYLE hopes Airdrie can build on the point gained at Falkirk last weekend.

​

The Diamonds host in-form Morton at New Broomfield tomorrow after ending a three-game losing skid with a 1-1 draw against Steven Pressley's men.

​

Boyle felt his side could have come away with all three points had they produced a better showing in the opening 45 minutes.

​

And he explained the thinking behind the decision to substitute his forward line at Westfield with Ryan Donnelly and John Boyle making way for Lee Brown and Willie McLaren.

​

He said: "I think there was a bit more out there for us against Falkirk. We gave them too much respect in the first half and didn't push the game enough.

​

"We created some really good chances and I was really pleased with how we performed in the second half and coming back from a goal down.

​

"The two strikers came off a bit unhappy but they hadn't had a shot on target. Sometimes you don't get good service but good strikers go and make chances for themselves.

​

"We needed to try and get something from the game and decided to change things. Willie and the young boy Lee came on and we dug out a result."

​

Tomorrow is the first match in a home double-header for Airdrie and Boyle added: "Morton have incredible experience in their team.

​

"This game, and the one next Saturday at home to Hamilton Accies are massive for us.

​

"We feel we can beat anybody in this league if we perform well on the day. Our home games are also going to be important."

​

Boyle hopes to have Jack Boyle fit again after injury. The manager confirmed that Fraser Keast has been sent on loan to Junior outfit Broxburn Athletic.
