Airdrie star named Player of the Month after clinical patch of form

Airdrie forward Callum Smith has been named the League One Player of the Month for his contributions at the Diamonds.

The former Hamilton Accies star has scored 14 goals with five assists this season and netted five of those strikes during March.

Two doubles were notched against Alloa and Falkirk while he added another against Queen's Park, before last weekend's draw with Cove Rangers.

Ian Murray's men remain five points behind Paul Hartley in the title race and Airdrie travel to East Fife on Saturday.

Smith said: "It's been very good ever since the Alloa game - obviously I got the two there then the two at Falkirk the week after, which was a brilliant two weeks for me.

"Then Queen’s Park as well, so it’s been hard games.

"I'm just delighted to get the five goals, it's been a good month for me and the boys.

"I'm looking to get back on it this weekend, East Fife is a hard place to go but we just need to believe in ourselves again.

"That’s us 15 games unbeaten, so there's every chance we can go there and get a win."
