Jimmy Boyle has vowed to be more offensive in the Irn-Bru Second Division next season.

​

The Airdrieonians manager is looking forward to the 2013-14 campaign which begins in late July.

​

The Diamonds find themselves in the same division as Rangers – and also have Dunfermline Athletic for company.

​

But, according to the gaffer, Airdrie will have no fear and are aiming to make a positive impact.

​

He said: "We didn't pass the ball anywhere as well as we should have last season and that is something we're going to work on.

​

"We didn't create as many chances and so we're going to be more offensive.

​

"I don't know what shape we're going with just yet. I want to see what players we can bring in.

​

"But I don't want us to just be a team that plays 4-4-2. I want to work at different shapes but being more offensive than defensive.

​

The boss added: "We've got Rangers next season at home twice and two trips to Ibrox where the players have a chance to play and that's fantastic.

​

"We want the players to be physically fit and strong for the season ahead."
