Jim Lister says back-to-back victories shows that Airdrieonians are developing a winning mentality. 

​

The 32-year-old was excellent as the Diamonds beat Stenhousemuir 4-3 in the first round of the League Cup on Saturday.

​

He said: "We have a lot of belief in the team. We're still in the two cups and developing a winning mentality.

​

"We didn't start well but you've got to be pleased to get the win when you come back from two goals down.

​

"We're a young, fit team. We're capable of scoring goals and I think we can only get better."

​

Lister, who played a key role in setting up three of Airdrie's goals, had a chance in the dying seconds to net one of his own.

​

But he chose to square the ball to substitute Jamie Bain who miskicked with teenager Liam Coogans also in the box ready to pounce – it will be the last time he does that.

​

"I'm a team player," the striker added. "I'm not a selfish player but I should have had that shot at the end.

​

"I was going through and I had two boys screaming for the ball. It was a tap-in for either of them.

​

"You better believe I won't be as unselfish next time and they all know it as well!"
