| Comments | Match Report Report from the BBC. Airdrie United 0 Ross County 2 A goal in each half from Kevin McKinley and Michael Gardyne gave Ross County a comfortable victory at Airdrie. The duo combined to devastating effect for the opening goal after 23 minutes when McKinley diverted Gardyne's corner into the net from close range. Gardyne got on the scoresheet after the break by latching on to Derek Adams' long ball, rounding the goalkeeper and slotting the ball into the empty net. Airdrie's efforts to chase the game were snuffed out by County's defence. |
