| Comments | Match Report Report from the BBC. Ross County 2 Airdrie United 1 Ross County claimed maximum points against 10-man Airdrie in an entertaining game at Victoria Park. Paul Di Giacomo scored on his County debut after 18 minutes and Garry Wood doubled the hosts' lead with a header from Scott Morrison's cross. Airdrie's Stephen McLaughlin saw his penalty rattle the crossbar. But John Baird found the net with his spot kick after being fouled by Graham Girvan. Diamonds striker Frankie Lagana was sent off for a second bookable offence. |
