Jimmy Boyle says he is pleased to have signed defender Darren McCormack and midfielder David Sinclair. 

​

The versatile McCormack (24) arrives from East Fife having previously played for Hibernian and Ross County.

​

Sinclair (22) was with Ayr United last season and made almost 100 appearances for Livingston. The duo have signed one-year contracts.

​

"David is a very good footballer," the manager said. "He is aggressive in the middle of the park and a winner.

​

"He scores goals from midfield and is a good signing.

​

"I want him to be really creative and positive.

​

"Darren has been with Hibs in the SPL. He's come back from a bad leg break at Ross County and is hungry.

​

"Both he and David want full-time football again and I'm delighted to bring both players to the club."

​

Meanwhile, Boyle says there is a better atmosphere around the club as Airdrie look to move on from last season's relegation.

​

And the manager believes the dressing room improvement has come as a result of the Diamonds' transfer business.

​

"I was really disappointed with some of the attitudes we had about the place last season," he said.

​

"But already I notice that there has been a massive change in the dressing room and that is down to the big characters we have in there.

​

"You've got Lewis [Coult] and Jimmy [Lister]. Big Colin Stewart is a good type. David [Sinclair] is a real winner.

​

"Hopefully their attitudes will rub off the other guys we have at this club as we know it is going to be a tough season."
