Airdrie Vs Clyde (preview)
By Chris Mac August 23 2004
CIS cup 2nd round draw sees us against Clyde the team that put us out at the same stage last season. Can we go one step further this year?

Preview For Saturday, 21st August 2004

Airdrie

V

Clyde

 Sandy Stewart

 

Billy Reid

Airdrie have a lot to live up to after the weekends performance, Sandy and Kenny have read the riot act over the weekend and we should be hoping for a better performance.
Our injury problems haven't lessened and I have heard mixed reports concerning the return of some of our star players. So I would expect the same team to be out as we had on Saturday.
Will Airdrie manage to get by the same stage as they went out last year, strange how the two CIS cup fixtures are same teams different venues.

 Opponents News

Billy Reid has Clyde sitting at the top off the Bells First Division and brings them to Broomfield unbeaten. But with a very small squad it may only be time until they are put under pressure and loss.
Only John Potter is struggling for fitness for the Bully Wee otherwise they have a full squad for the fixture.

 Ref Review

Iain Brines

 

 

Only game I can find that he has been the man in the middle during was Dumbarton VS Raith Rovers`, Raith won the game 3-1 as Dumbarton a player sent off.

 

 

 Prediction

We have to win to at least show an improvement on last season, the lure of a bigger team in the next round is also attractive, 2 Vs 1 to Airdrie
