Christie Returns (27/7/06)

After what can only be described as a 'busy' day at the office we are happy to announce that Kevin Christie has signed for the Club.

Kevin has been outstanding preseason and has been a stand out player in almost every game. As a result of his performances a number of other Clubs were beginning to look in his direction and therefore we finalised everything today so as to secure his services.

The squad is now really beginning to take shape but there is still further work to do.

Watch this space.

MARC SMYTH JOINS AIRDRIE (27/7/06)

We are delighted to confirm that, following negotiations with Partick Thistle, Marc has signed for the Club on a 2 year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Marc (23) was Captain of Partick Thistle last year but was a player that we have been after for some time. We originally tried to sign him when he was with Ayr back in 2005 only for the deal to fall through on the last day of the Transfer Window.

Sandy Stewart said “I have been a long time admirer of Marc Smyth and I was disappointed when the previous attempt fell through. He is the type of player (6 ft) that we have currently been looking for and can play in a variety of positions across the back four. He can also play in midfield.”

Marc joins up with the squad with immediate effect and his papers are with the League to clear him to play at the weekend in Belfast.

Paul Lovering accepts contract (26/07/06)

The Club can confirm that Paul Lovering has returned to the Club and has signed a contract this morning.

However, after undergoing a small op over the summer and now returning to full fitness, both ourselves and Paul are delighted to hook up again. Paul played last night against Falkirk and he is looking forward to the trip to Belfast.

Welcome back Paul.

Falkirk 2 vs 1 Airdrie United. (25/7/06)

Airdrie United travelled to Grangemouth to take on SPL side Falkirk and although we were beaten in the end, the Diamonds put on an excellent show.

This was a game of missed opportunities for the Airdrie side, with Brian Prunty, Garry Twigg, Stephen McDougall, Graeme Holmes and Willie McLaren all coming close to opening the scoring in the first half.

With the game standing at nil - nil, it was Willie McLaren who opened the scoring, Brian Prunty put a ball through the Falkirk defence and McLaren hammered home. Eleven minutes in to the second half and Airdrie had finally opened the scoring.

With substitutions now being made, Falkirk began to push and it was long before A Trialist scored the equaliser, the winner came late in the game another goal for A Trialist and a final score of two - one to the home team.

However, after a lot of hard work, he is fit and raring to go and is a valuable addition to our squad. He has a great physical presence, a wealth of experience and a true goal threat and we are extremely pleased to have concluded the deal.
