Airdrieonians vs Arbroath – Match Preview
Match Day 17 – Ladbrokes League 1 – Season 2018 / 2019
Saturday 15th December 2018, The Penny Cars Stadium, Airdrie – 3.00pm kick off
Arbroath make the trip down to Airdrie tomorrow for our 17th league game of the season as we take on Ian Murray’s Airdrieonians at The Penny Cars Stadium.
There have been many changes off the pitch since our last match against Airdrieonians with former Dumbarton and St Mirren Manager Ian Murray now in charge since October after Stevie Findlay was dismissed.
Bryan Prunty, a very familiar face to Arbroath fans and players joined the Airdrieonians backroom staff in early November.
Airdrieonians Team News
Airdrieonians have a few injuries for our visit tomorrow with goalkeepers Scott Gallacher and former Lichtie David Hutton both out, with Scott Robertson also missing due to a knee injury whilst Kyle Wilkie has returned to full training.
Airdrieonians star Ryan Conroy believes that his side are the team to beat the Lichties.
Arbroath Team News
Arbroath Manager Dick Campbell will be without defender Thomas O’Brien who serves a one-match suspension but will return for the home game against Raith Rovers.
However striker Callum Smith gives the Lichties a boost as he returns to the squad after recovering from a broken wrist.
It will be another extremely tough match for the Lichties, especially away from home so
again we need you to be our 12th man and cheer on the Lichties from the very first minute.
