We are happy and relieved at the verdict arrived at by Judge Hoey and the tribunal members. Airdrieonians FC always prioritise the welfare of our football players and we are glad that this has been evident in the tribunal findings.

Along with the whole of Scottish football, we will continue to be passionate about not tolerating any forms of racism and discrimination as it is simply unacceptable.

We would like to thank our legal team, Andrew Maxwell and Bruce Caldow of Harper MacLeod for their professionalism.
