Liam Watt edged in front of Bryan Prunty in the Airdrieonians scoring stakes on Saturday but he admitted: I couldn’t have done it without him! 

​

The 22-year-old midfielder grabbed his sixth of the season to secure a point in the 1-1 draw with Stranraer. 

​

Prunts is a goal behind on five but top scorer Liam told airdriefc.com: “When I came on I just had to do as well as I could and help the team. I’m glad I managed to get the goal and help the team to a draw. 

​

“It was a good flick on by Prunts and I just gambled with the run and waited, then at the right time I managed to put it past the goalie.” 

​

Our DiamondsTV highlights show Liam was well onside as he profited from a deft header from fans’ favourite Bryan. 

​

And he said: “It was a great flick and to be honest Bryan has still got it, he’s still a better finisher than me!” 

​

After coming off the bench and netting such an important goal Liam is more focused than ever and is working hard to improve as a player. 

​

Watt’s main priority in training this week will be trying to win his place in Head Coach Eddie Wolecki Black’s starting 11 for the home clash with Ayr United on Saturday. 

​

He stressed: “I just want to do the best I can for myself and the team. Hopefully today was good enough to get me back into the starting 11 next week.” 

​

Liam also took the time to briefly look forward to next season when the club will go full-time. 

He said: “Full-time football would be great for me next season. It’s a great prospect for everyone at the club, we’re all happy to have a shot at going full-time.”
