IT'S 'Kids for Free' day at New Broomfield for the visit of Arbroath tomorrow.

​

Youngsters under the age of 16 will be admitted to the stadium free of charge thanks to new main sponsor Advance Construction.

​

The Blantyre-based company have agreed to back the Diamonds until the end of the campaign with the possibility of extending the deal through next season.

​

And to celebrate this week's big announcement, Advance Construction are promoting a 'Kids for Free' scheme this weekend.

​

The Diamonds go into the Irn-Bru Second Division clash with the Smokies full of confidence after their record-breaking win over Gala Fairydean.

​

The 11-0 humbling of the East of Scotland League part-timers was the biggest Scottish Cup win in 18 years and a new club record victory for Airdrie since they re-formed as United in 2002.

​

Manager Jimmy Boyle said: "That was a great result for us and we're hopeful we can push on from here. We're creating lots of chances and getting the clean sheet was important.

​

"We still believe we have a squad here that can put a good run of results together but the next six or seven games are really big for us."

​

On the personnel front, centre-back David Lilley is missing due to suspension while a thigh injury will again keep out Ally Woodburn. Teenager Fraser Keast should be back.

​

Meanwhile, Airdrie have signed 16-year-old left-back Kyle Nicoll, a member of the club's under-19 squad, to a two-year contract.
