Airdrieonians took plus points from their Scottish Cup performance despite defeat by St Mirren and will be aiming to keep those positives in mind for another tough assignment at home to Championship leaders St Johnstone. Next week they face Partick Thistle in Glasgow, with the Firhill side still in dogged pursuit of the pacesetters from Perth. St Johnstone had their Challenge Cup quarter-final postponed on Tuesday for a third time. That fixture has now been moved to the Falkirk Stadium in the hope that an artificial surface is the answer. However, there is an upbeat feel around the club since Taylor-Sinclair took the reins and they go into this fixture with plenty of resolve and hope after pushing St Mirren all the way.
