Airdrie and St.Johnstone

I missed the Airdrie game due to Calum's stag weekend in Cork, but the 1 nil victory was a great result for the club. If you did not know Derek Lyle scored the winner from the penalty spot after Gavin Swankie was fouled in the box.
Last Saturday we drew 1-1 with St.Johnstone at Dens we started the game very well, but Derek Lyle got sent off after the linesman flagged, it seemed a bit harsh. Perth saints scored midway through the half and it looked that we would struggle. But the fighting qualities that the club has just now pulled us through. In the second half we took the game to our hosts and it was no surprise when after good play by Gavin Swankie, who passed to Andy McLaren who shot home. A good draw for us and great performances from Andy McLaren and Paul Dixon.
Dundee have Cameroon striker Issac Mopi on trial this week, Alex Rae has said he has done well and will play in a bounce game next week. Ross Harris should be fit for the trip to Dingwall a week on Saturday, it's a bonus as many thought he had broken his leg on Saturday.
