Airdrie ace Chris Mochrie expects Championship cracker with Falkirk

Chris Mochrie knows Airdrie have had some epic battles against Falkirk in recent years, and expects another Championship cracker on Saturday.

Newly-promoted Bairns won last season’s League One title with an unbeaten run, and have won all four of their league games this term.

“Falkirk are a team that likes to play football, like ourselves, so it should be a good game to watch, and hopefully we can come out on the right side of it.I think our home form is going to be massive this season and it’s something that we’re looking forward to. Hopefully we can get a good
