Airdrie cruised into the Championship play-off final after an emphatic aggregate victory over Scottish Cup semi-finalists Falkirk set up a Lanarkshire derby with Hamilton Accies.

And they will now hope it is third time lucky in a play-off final after heartbreaking final defeats to Queen's Park and Morton in the last two campaigns.
Rhys McCabe's men will face John Rankin's Accies after the Championship side, incredibly, came from 3-0 down on aggregate to beat 10-man Alloa Athletic 5-3 in the other tie.
