Jamie Bain is looking for a repeat of the last time Brechin visited New Broomfield, but knows that any win will do for the Diamonds. 

​

The 23-year-old has been Airdrie's utility man this season, filling in a number of different positions, but has found himself in his favoured right-back position in recent weeks. 

​

The Diamonds made a late comeback against league leaders Stranraer last week, but Bain insists a point was scant consolation in a match the players feel they should have won. 

​

"After going behind last week late on, still being able to fight till the end and grab a point was good from the lads - but we were all disappointed we couldn't get the three points as I thought we were the far better team. 

​

"Our aim is to get to the playoffs so we want to be winning these games now." 

​

The man who "doesn't do tap-ins" has only troubled the scoresheet once this season - albeit with a crucially important late winner. Can we expect more spectacular goals from Jamie?

​

"That late goal at Ayr was just special. To come off the bench in the dying minutes and to score the winner was brilliant - but every game where I'm in positions where I can score, I try. So I wouldn't say the goals have dried up just yet!"

​

The team certainly found their shooting boots the last time Brechin came to town, knocking four past the Angus outfit without reply.

​

Bain wants a repeat performance, but warns Brechin are not to be taken lightly.

​

"The result last time round wasn't far off tremendous. We will be going out to do the same again hopefully, but we've got to give Brechin respect. 

​

"They have got players who will hurt us, so we've got to be aware of that and make sure we're the ones with the three points come 5 o'clock." 

​

While Ben Richards-Everton has returned to Partick Thistle, fellow defender Liam Lindsay has moved in the opposite direction and goes straight into the squad.

​

With Luca Gasparotto returning from international duty, manager Gary Bollan has more defensive options than in recent weeks.

​

Brechin currently occupy 4th position in the table, in the promotion play-off spot Bain covets.

Ray McKinnon's men fell victim to the weather last weekend as their match with Peterhead was postponed.

​

Jamie Masson has returned to Aberdeen, but ex-Diamonds Darren McCormack, Ewan McNeil and Alan Trouten could again line up against their former club.

Craig Charleston is the referee.
