Match Report

TTA report

A tremendous win. Good work by Hair and Torbet set up Lindsay (25) and with a header close in (37). Gibson hit the bar then Fraser (57) and Grove (69) made it 4 before Airdrie scored. Hair, for once free of his marker, scored (86). The Airdrie keeper saved them from a bigger defeat. Up to 5th.
