Saturday sees us continue our Viaplay Cup campaign at the Excelsior Stadium against Airdrieonians. We are looking to build on Saturday's win against St Johnstone and progress to the next round of the cup.

TEAM NEWS

Our team news ahead of Saturday's game remains similar to pre-St Johnstone. Yan Dhanda will have a fitness test ahead of Saturday's match. Will Nightingale is recovering from a thigh strain.

The Diamonds have had a positive start to the season with a 100% record in the Viaplay Cup before a loss to Dunfermline and win over Partick Thistle to kick-off their cinch Championship campaign. Rhys Mccabe's side were promoted via the play-offs on penalties against Hamilton Accies.
