Airdrie striker Gabby McGill says it's up to League One rivals to catch them

Airdrie striker Gabby McGill has thrown down the gauntlet to their League One play-off rivals, and said it’s up to them to catch the Diamonds.

McGill netted a double in a 5-1 win over Clyde at New Douglas Park that put them up to third in the table, ahead of this afternoon’s games elsewhere.

Rhys McCabe’s side have now scored an incredible 18 goals in three games, and McGill says confidence is high.

“It’s up to everybody else to catch us – that’s what we talk about,” he said.

“The manager has said we have six games to go in that last quarter and every single one is like a cup final, and that’s how we’re treating it.

“It’s working really well so far, so we’ll keep it up.”

Justin Devenny fot his first goal for the club, while Adam Frizzell and Callum Smith also got on the score-sheet against shell-shocked Clyde, and McGill says it’s all clicking into place.

He said: “Eighteen goals in three games is brilliant. To be fair, it has been the same all season.

“We get chances and we might not take every single one – and maybe earlier in the season we should have been a bit more clinical – but we’re definitely coming into form at the right time – me, Calum Gallagher and Callum Smith, and even the ones on the bench.

“You see it every day in training, we’re really putting in goals, and 18 in three games is brilliant.”

McGill, 22, took his tally to 13 for the season, an incredible eight of which have come in his last four games, but admits a late miss that would have sealed his hat-trick will haunt him.

But after scoring in one minute and 12 seconds, the Englishman admits he’s content.

He said: “The first one is pretty much what we work on. Smithy has made a great run and I’m not sure if he’s won it, but I know he’s got clattered in
