Manager Jimmy Boyle wants Airdrie's players to battle in the remaining three games of the season.

​

The Diamonds were relegated from the Irn-Bru First Division last Saturday following a 2-1 defeat at home to Partick Thistle.

​

With the 12-12-18 league reconstruction proposal failing at a vote of SPL clubs on Monday, it appears Airdrie will be playing SFL2 football next season.

​

Boyle is planning big changes this summer but is staying focused on the final three matches against tomorrow's opponents, Dumbarton, Livingston and Dunfermline Athletic.

​

He said: "I want us to win every game. That's what I want us to do every week and I'll continue to get the players ready.

​

"We have got to keep going and still have a job to do. The teams we're facing still have something to play for.

​

"We know it has been a disappointing season. People have left the club to go to pastures new or because they haven't been good for the place.

​

"We've had young boys coming through. I feel sorry for them as it has been tough on them but they've worked really hard."

​

Airdrie will be missing striker John Boyle who has a knee injury. Nathan Blockley, Jordan Kirkpatrick and Gavin Griffin are struggling for fitness as well.

​

Paul Di Giacomo has left the club by mutual consent. Club captain David Lilley has gone to Spain to be with his father who is unwell.
